Heat Capacity

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to fill up a pool using a garden hose, and you notice that the time it takes to fill the pool depends on its size. This situation is similar to how heat capacity works, where the amount of heat energy required to increase an object's temperature depends on the object's size and composition. Just as a larger pool needs more water to be filled, an object with a higher heat capacity requires more heat energy to raise its temperature by 1°C.
