Thermal Energy Equation
\[ Q = m \times c \times \Delta T \]
- \(Q\) = Thermal energy transferred (Joules)
- \(m\) = Mass of substance (grams)
- \(c\) = Specific heat capacity (J/g°C)
- \(ΔT\) = Temperature change (°C)
Example: For 100g water (c=4.18 J/g°C) with ΔT=15°C:
\[ {\small Q = 100\, \text{g} \times 4.18\, \text{J/g°C} \times 15\, \text{°C} = 6270\, \text{J}} \]
Note: Default heat capacity is for water. Change for other substances.
