Ball & Ring GRAVESANDE

Description

Demonstrates the difference in thermal conductivity of two different materials. The kit consists of two identical blocks, one made of aluminum and other made of plastic. When an ice cube is placed on aluminum it turns into water in seconds, while on plastic block it melts slowly. The aluminum block has a larger heat capacity and a higher thermal conductivity while the plastic block has lower values of both parameters. With instructions.

Description

Consisting of a joint less copper calorimeter 75 x 50 mm on rubber supports, spun outer copper vessel of 100 x 75 mm diameter copper lid for outer vessel with central tubule for thermometer and slit for copper stirrer with a looped copper stirrer for the inner vessel.

Description

Polished aluminum container placed in an outer wooden case with thermometer, plastic top fitted with two terminals for heating coil and a hole for thermometer.

Description

To illustrate expansion of metal on heating and contraction on cooling, with steel bar of length 100 x 10 mm and plated brass gauge with a cutout to just accommodate the bar and two holes through which the bar passes when cold.
