Suggested PAG activity — PAG 5 – Energy / example: determine the specific heat capacity of a metal
OCR requires PAG 5 safe measurement of energy changes or transfers and associated quantities such as work done; determining the specific heat capacity of a metal is the example activity.
Interactive Practical · GCSE Physics
Specific heat capacity
Weigh aluminium and copper blocks, heat each one in insulation while reading a joulemeter and thermometer every two minutes, and find each specific heat capacity from a graph.
This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
