Required Practical: Investigating Specific Heat Capacity (AQA GCSE Physics Combined Science): Quizzes

Energy to raise 1 kg by 1°C or 1K

$\text{J/kg°C}$

Lots of thermal energy to raise temperature

$E = mc\Delta T$

Temperature change in °C

Kilograms (kg)

Joules (J)

Use an insulator with lower conductivity

Ensure the immersion heater is fully submerged

Use an electronic temperature probe

Stir the oil

$c = \frac{\Delta E}{m \times \Delta \theta}$
