[[Thermodynamics]]
* Energy required to change temperature: $Q=mc\Delta T$
* Rate of conduction: $\frac{Q}{\Delta t}=\frac{kA\Delta T}{L}$
* Specific heat ($c$) is intrinsic and determines the amount of energy required to change temperature.
* Thermal conductivity is also intrinsic, metals conduct well, insulators don't.
