Calorimetry
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12361
The Calorimetry set (SKU SCL-PLE-12361) is an electrical calorimetry kit for specific heat experiments in school and college physics. A metal calorimeter with a nickel-coated inner surface is heated by an electric heater powered from a 1.5-12 V, 3 A supply, while digital meters record voltage and current and a stopwatch and thermometers record time and temperature. JaincoLab supplies the complete set for heat and energy practicals.
Specifications
The set includes a calorimeter of copper, aluminium, brass or iron with a nickel-coated inside (about 54 x 34 mm inside and 70 x 45 mm outside), a -10 to 110 °C mercury thermometer, a digital thermometer, 19.99 V DC and 19.99 A DC digital meters, a 1.5-12 V AC/DC 3 A supply, a 10 ohm 3.3 A rheostat, a 6-50 W heater and a digital stopwatch.

Applications of the electrical calorimetry kit for specific heat
The set is used to determine specific heat capacity by an electrical method: a measured electrical energy (voltage x current x time) is supplied to a liquid or block in the calorimeter and the temperature rise is recorded.
- Determining the specific heat capacity of a liquid by the electrical method
- Measuring electrical energy input from voltmeter, ammeter and stopwatch readings
- Comparing the heat capacities of different liquids
- Studying heat losses and the effect of the calorimeter material
- Heat and energy practicals in senior secondary and B.Sc physics
