Heat Experiments

There are four heat experiments on the leaving certificate physics course. All four are listed here and are available as JavaScript simulations on this site. Just click on the experiment you wish to do.

  1. Calibration curve of a thermometer using the laboratory mercury thermometer as a standard


  2. Measurement of specific heat capacity, e.g. of water or a metal by a mechanical or electrical method


  3. Measurement of the specific latent heat of fusion of ice


  4. Measurement of the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water
