Flag question 
During the experiment you measure the amount of energy added to the calorimeter. You will do this by calculating the 
electrical power, P dissipated by a resistor. If one multimeter says that the current through the resistor is 1.4 A and the 
other multimeter tells you that the voltage drop across the resistor is 1.5 Volts. The temperature at this time is 24.00 C. 
What is the power dissipated by the resistor in Watts, W?

Flag question 
During the experiment you will need to calculate the value of the specific heat of water, cw. In order to do this you will 
need to make use of the formula (P = power): 
(m AlcAi+mwc )dT 
dt 
Given the following data use the formula to calculate cw 
Note: this is data collected in an experiment, it may not give you the accepted value for cw. 
dT/dt = 0.075 Ks- 
CAF 900 Jkg-lK-l (correct to 3 significant figures) 
mw = 189 g 
mm = 2.6 g 
V = 9.1 V across heating element 
I = 8.2 A through heating element 
duration of experiment = 60.0s

During this experiment you are going to need to set up a circuit. You will need to measure the current and voltage flowing 
through the resistor which is immersed in water. On the diagram below indicate where you would place the ammeter and 
voltmeter to measure the current and voltage through the resisting coil by dragging and dropping them onto the image.
