Gulliver salvages several of the king's hairs from his shaving cream and makes himself a comb. He then makes the seat of a chair from the queen's hair but refuses to sit on it because doing so would be insulting to her.
Heat capacity. (Science: chemistry) The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin), it is represented by the symbol c and is given in units of J/K.

In order to determine the heat capacity of a substance we not only need to know how much heat is added, but also the conditions under which the heat transfer took place. For gases, adding heat under constant pressure and under constant temperature will lead to very different values of the specific heat capacity.he change in the temperature is proportional to the amount of heat added. The constant C is called the heat capacity of the object. The heat capacity of an object depends on its mass and the type of material of which it is made.
