For showing that when different metal cylinders are heated to the same temperature and immersed individually in an equal quantity of water, the rise in temperature of the water is directly proportional to the specific heat of the chosen metal cylinder. Individual cylinders can also be used for precise specific heat determination. Includes six cylinders made of aluminum, brass, copper, iron, lead, and zinc having diameters of 13mm. The length of each cylinder is adjusted so that all of them have the same mass. |
