Specific Heat Capacity (II)


Determination Of Specific Heat Capacity Of A Liquid
Transformer If there is no heat loss to the surroundings,
Switch Heat gained by water = Electric energy supplied
Rheostat
mcθ = VIt
VIt
A
c =

V Switch
m: mass of water
Thermometer c: specific heat capacity of water
Electric Calorimeter θ : temperature change
heater V: voltage supplied
Water
Stirrer I: current supplied
Insulation
t: time taken

Applications
A radiator of Cooking utensils are made of a metal
low specific heat which has low specific heat capacity so
capacity is able to as to absorb
radiate heat faster. heat faster.

Sea breeze Land breeze


Land has a higher specific heat capacity Land has a higher specific heat capacity
than sea water. Land is hotter than the than sea water. Land is cooler than the
sea in the daytime. Hot air above the sea during the night. Hot air above the
land rises so that cooler air from the sea rises so that cooler air from the land
sea blows towards the land. blows towards the sea.
