specific heat capacity

Cards (3)

  • change in thermal energy=
    mass multiplied by specific heat capacity multiplied by temperature change
  • specific heat capacity practical
    energy = mass*c*temp change
    Measure the mass of the block using scales or a balance
    Turn on the power supply
    Measure the initial temperature.
    Measure the energy from the joulemeter.
    Measure the temperature from the thermometer every 10 seconds.
    Record the final temperature.
    c=e/mass*temp
    A) thermometer
    B) metal block
    C) immersion heater
    D) joule meter
  • for specific heat capacity
    Plot the temperature against energy.
    Add the line of best fit.
    Find the gradient.
    Use the equation temperature*gradient.
