An intensive physical property does not depend on the size of the sample. An example of an intensive physical property is density. An extensive physical property does depend on the size of the sample, such as mass and volume.
It is something of a misconception to refer to "heat content". Strictly speaking, heat is only energy in transit from one place to another. What you are referring to as "heat content" is probably either internal energy (denoted as U in thermodynamics) or Enthalpy (denoted as H in thermodynamics).
We do sometimes refer to heat capacity (usually denoted by a capital C, often with subscripts) which is a measurable physical quantity of the amount of heat required to change an object's temperature by a given amount. In International Units, "heat capacity" is expressed in units of joules per kelvin. The heat capacity is related to the "specific heat"; specific heat is the heat capacity per unit of mass. As an example: water has a specific heat of approximately 1 calorie per gram per degree. Specific heat is an intensive property. Heat capacity is an extensive property because the more mass you have of a particular composition, the more heat it will take to change its temperature; it takes more heat to warm up a swimming pool than it would to warm up a glass of water taken from the pool. Nevertheless, both the water in the pool and the water in the glass would have the same "specific heat".
Heat capacity is related to enthalpy by the formula H/T (where T is temperature in kelvin).
It may help to mentally connect the word "extensive" with the word "extent". Does the property depend upon the extent of the material, i.e. how much of it there is? Then it's an extensive property. If it doesn't, then it's an intensive property. Anything you can reasonably put the word "average" in front of when talking about a single sample of "stuff" is almost certainly an intensive property.
You wouldn't talk about the "average" volume of a bottle of gas, because there's only one volume. Volume is an extrinsic property; it depends on how much "stuff" there is.
Temperature is an intensive property. It doesn't matter if you're measuring four molecules or four hundred cubic light-years of the stuff, the temperature is the temperature.
Heat is an extensive property. Temperature is intensive.
The temperature is an intensive physical property.

why electrical conductivity is an intensive property of matter
extensive
There is no change; specific heat is an intensive property of a material, independent of the amount.
Examples of extensive properties are: mass, volume, length, Heat, Force e.t.c Examples of intensive properties are: color,shape, boiling point, melting point, density, luster, hardness and taste
Melting point is an intensive property. Regardless of the amount of a substance present the melting point will remain the same.
It is an extensive property.
anything that is "specific" is intensive. look at the units: J/(kg °K)that is, it doesnt depend on the quantity available.with "specific" properties, you multiple by the amount you want and you get the total amount of that property.
why electrical conductivity is an intensive property of matter
an intensive property is the one that is independent from the mass of number of particles in a system while an extensive proeprty depends on them. Energy (e.g. heat) is a property that depend on the mass or the number of particles in a system. In other words, energy is an extensive property.

Water has a higher specific heat, and this is an intensive property of the substance itself.
Examples of extensive properties are: mass, volume, length, Heat, Force e.t.c Examples of intensive properties are: color,shape, boiling point, melting point, density, luster, hardness and taste
The question is ridiculous. An extensive property is one that depends on the size or number of particles in a system such as mass or volume. An intrinsic property is one that doesn't depend on size or number of particles like density, specific heat capacity or boiling point.So, knowing that... you must agree. This question is ridiculous. Copper tubing is no more a property of a system than a pickup truck is an flavor of soda.
I think it is probably intensive, since it dosen't depend on the quantity.
Enthalpy is an extensive quantity because an extensive quantity depends on the size of the molecule or the number of moles (how much of the molecule you have). Therefore think of a handful of gunpower vs. a storage room full of gunpower. Which reaction will have more enthalpy change? Yes, the room full of gunpower because there is more gunpowder in the reaction. This is an example of why enthalpy is an extensive quantity. Hope you understand now.
In physics and chemistry an intensive property of a system is a physical property of the system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. By contrast, an extensive property of a system does depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include: * temperature * viscosity * density * electrical resistivity * melting point * boiling point * pressure * spectral absorption maxima (in solution) * flammability Examples of extensive properties include: * mass * volume * entropy * energy * electrical resistance * texture * heat
