QUESTION

How do specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity differ?

There is a difference between capacity and thermal conductivity.

Thermal conductivity: property of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat.

The equation of thermal conductivity is:

Specific heat capacity: heat or thermal energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by one unit. The equation of specific heat is:
