Calorimeter Joule's, Each

Details

Joule's Calorimeter is useful for conducting the electrical method of determining a liquid's specific heat capacity. It comprises a nickel-plated copper calorimeter measuring 3 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter, lagged and enclosed within an outer vessel measuring 4 inches tall and 2.75 inches in diameter. A close-fitting ebonite lid is provided with a wire stirrer and a pair of 4mm socket terminals connected to a constantan wire heating coil. The coil's resistance is approximately 6 ohms, and it should be used with a current of 0.5 A, with a maximum of 1 A (power supply not included). Designed for use in professional laboratories, this calorimeter is an ideal choice for science classrooms and household use. *Thermometer not included.
