Calorimeter

  • Principle Illustrated: Specific Heat, Conservation of Energy


  • Calorimeters using a light bulb heater, or a resistance heater are available to demonstrate the transfer of electrical Energy into heat energy and light energy. They can also be used to demonstrate the specific heat of water. A large digital thermometer can be used to display the temperature (see digital multi-meter).

    This demo can be found in cabinet D on shelf 5 of the UCSD PUL Demo Room (WLH 2015).
