( GCSE 9-1)
You’ve got to be more precise. What exam board. What experiment. What did you use in it. Come on, help us out
Board- AQA
Experiment - An investigation to determine the specific heat capacity of one
or more materials. The investigation will involve linking the decrease of one energy store (or work done) to the increase in temperature and subsequent increase in thermal energy stored.
Materials
1 kg copper block with two holes – one for the heater and one for the thermometer
•
1 kg iron, aluminium or lead blocks for comparison
•
thermometer
•
pipette to put water in the thermometer hole
•
30 W heater
•
12 V power supply
•
insulation to wrap around the blocks
•
ammeter and voltmeter
•
4mm leads
•
stop watch or stop clock
•
balance (capable of measuring more than 1 kg) to determine the mass of the blocks
•
heatproof mat.
