Practicals

Question 1

6.1 Energy

What does the Specific Heat Capacity practical investigate?

Answer 1

An investigation to determine the specific heat capacity of one or more materials. The investigation will involve linking the decrease of one energy store (or work done) to the increase in temperature and subsequent increase in thermal energy stored.

Question 2

6.3 Particles

What does the Density practical investigate?

Answer 2

Use appropriate apparatus to make and record the measurements needed to determine the densities of regular and irregular solid objects and liquids.

Question 3

6.2 Electricity

What does the I-V characteristics practical investigate?

Answer 3

Use circuit diagrams to construct appropriate circuits to investigate the I-V characteristics of variety of circuit elements including a filament lamp, a diode and a resistor at constant temperature.

Question 4

6.2 Electricity

Resistance

Answer 4

Use circuit diagrams to set up an appropriate circuit to investigate a factor/the factors that affect the resistance of an electrical circuit.

Question 5

6.1 Energy

What does the Thermal Insulation practical investigate?

Answer 5

Investigate the effectiveness of different materials as thermal insulators and the factors that may affect the thermal insulation properties of a material.
