A to Z Formula

What is Dimensional Formula of Specific heat capacity ?

Specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat required to increase the temperature of a unit mass of fluid by one temperature unit.

Mathematically,
Specific heat capacity = Q /m Θ

Where Q= Heat, m = mass  and Θ = Temperature

Dimensional formula of Heat(Q) = M1L2T-2
Dimensional formula of mass = M1L0T0
Dimensional formula of Temperature(Θ) = M0L0T0K1

Putting these values in above equation we get,
Dimensional formula of Specific Heat Capacity = M0L2T-2K-1
SI unit of Specific Heat Capacity is Joule kg-1 K-1
