Paper 1 H - SAMPLE SET 1 Q16
16) A student completes an experiment to find the specific heat capacity of a metal.
(a) (i) The student takes voltage and current measurements.
Suggest three other measurements they need to take? [3]
(ii) Describe how these measurements could be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal. [2]
(b) The value obtained from the experiment is much higher than expected.
Suggest two reasons how this could have occurred and two improvements to the experimental procedure. [4]
