Hey guys,

When you heat up a substance, and the substance doesn't change temperature as fast as another, is it still gaining the same internal energy? But then doesn't temperature represent internal energy? I'm just so confused.

Also, does anyone know any materials that can help with understanding thermodynamics?

Thanks in advance

Are you referring to heat capacitance of a system where C =Q/deltaT ? or heat capacitance of a specific substance where Q = MCdeltaT ?

I highly suggest you learn about heat capacity first.
