Specific heat capacity daimension​

The heat capacity is defined as


\displaystyle \lim_(\Delta T \to 0)(\Delta Q)/(\Delta T)

So, in particular, it is the ratio of heat and temperature, and therefore its dimension is J/K, i.e. Joule per Kelvin.

Dimensional formula of Heat(Q) = M(^1)L(^2)T(^-2)

Dimensional formula of Specific Heat Capacity = M(^0)L(^2)T(^-2)K(^-1)
