Specific heat capacity of a solid

Weigh an aluminium block, heat it electrically for ten minutes while reading the thermometer and meters, then use a graph of energy supplied against temperature rise to find its specific heat capacity.

This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
