WorksheetsMeasurement of Specific Heat Capacity
Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 10mins
What are the three materials used in the experiment?
Brass, Copper, and Aluminium
Steel, Iron, and Zinc
Gold, Silver, and Platinum
Wood, Plastic, and Glass
Why is it important to have a few drops of water in the hole before inserting the thermometer?
To prevent air gap between the metal and the thermometer
To increase the accuracy of the temperature reading
To cool down the metal block
To prevent the thermometer from breaking
What is the equation for specific heat capacity?
Energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature Change
Energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity
Energy = Power x Time
Energy = Voltage x Current
What is the unit of specific heat capacity?
J/kg°C
g/°C
W/s
V/A
Why does the block heat up slowly at the beginning of the experiment?
Because the heater needs to heat up first
Because the power supply is not working properly
Because the block is insulated
Because the thermometer is not accurate
What is the more accurate way of measuring power?
Using a joulemeter
Using a voltmeter and ammeter
Using a thermometer
Using a stopwatch
What is the purpose of insulating the block?
To prevent energy loss to the surroundings
To increase the specific heat capacity
To decrease the temperature change
To make the experiment more accurate
What is the specific heat capacity of aluminium in J/kg°C?
900
1050
1900
3400
What can be done to compare the specific heat capacities of different materials?
Repeat the experiment with different materials
Increase the power supply voltage
Use a different type of thermometer
Change the mass of the block
How many minutes were the temperature readings recorded for?
5 minutes
10 minutes
15 minutes
20 minutes
