Question

One last question,
Give a brief scenario explaining where a low specific heat capacity would be useful.

Answer 1

In cooking pots, low specific heat is desired for the pot: very little heat will go into the pot, as its temperature is rapidly inceased. For the pot handles, however, a very high specific heat would be desired. Why?

Answer 2

Because it take longer to heat up since High specific heat requires a lot more energy than low?

Answer 3

Yes, almost. You are confusing heat and temperature. Let me rephrase your answer: <<Because it take longer to feel <b>hot since High specific heat </b> requires a lot more energy to increase temperature, than low?>>
