A storage heater contains a material with a high specific heat capacity. Why is a high specific heat capacity useful in a storage heater?
The material stores a large amount of energy for each degree its temperature rises
The material reaches a high temperature after only a small amount of energy input
The material changes state easily and stores energy each time that it does so
The material transfers energy into the room more quickly than other materials do
