Specific Heat Capacity and its Measurement Methods

Here we Focus on specific heat capacity ($c = \frac{H}{m\Delta t}$) and examines the two laboratory techniques used to measure it: the Electrical Method and the Method of Mixtures. We explore:

• Specific Heat Capacity and its Measurement

• Methods: State the formula and SI unit of specific heat capacity.

• Describe how to determine the specific heat capacity of solids and liquids using electrical apparatus and the method of mixtures.

• Perform calculations involving energy conservation in thermal mixing and electrical heating.
