What is unit of Specific Heat capacity?
A
coulomb
B
joule per kilogram per Kelvin
C
newton second per square meter
D
watt per meter per degree celcius
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The SI unit of specific heat capacity is joule per kelvin per kilogram, J⋅kg−1⋅K−1. For example, the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 K is 4184 joules, so the specific heat capacity of water is 4184 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Joule Per Kilogram Per Kelvin (J/kg-K) is a unit in the category of Specific heat. This unit is commonly used in the SI unit system. Joule Per Kilogram Per Kelvin (J/kg-K) has a dimension of L2T-2Q-1 where L is length, T is time, and Q is temperatur. This unit is the standard SI unit in this category.

Detailed explanation-3: -The SI unit of specific heat capacity is J kg−1K−1 and in CGS it is cal g−1 ∘C−1.

Detailed explanation-4: -The SI unit of specific heat capacity is J kg^-1K^-1 .
