SHC+OF+A+METAL+BLOCK+PRACTICAL

IB PHYSICS > PRACTICAL WORK > IB IA EXPERIMENTS [|IA criteria checklist.doc] - always a good idea to look at this before submitting your work. =PRACTICAL: SHC OF METAL BLOCK= The arrangement above is approximately correct, but we will use a voltmeter and ammeter instead of the joulemeter.

PROCEDURE:
Heat the block using the immersion heater. Record the temperature against time. Plot a graph of temperature against energy delivered; linearise if necessary; calculate the gradient and use it to find the specific heat capacity of the metal block.
