THERMODYNAMICS KIT

Introduction
The PASCO CI-6514A Thermodynamics Kit can be
used to measure the electrical equivalent of heat and
investigate thermal absorption and radiation.
Included in this kit are three cans (one unpainted, one
white, and one black) and a heating element.
The cans are very useful in demonstrating that objects of
the same material, but with different colors, will absorb
and radiate heat at different rates. By filling the cans with
water, and determining the temperature of each, one can
confirm that the darker can heats and cools more quickly
than the cans of lighter color.
The heating element is a 10
Ω
/6W resistor. A thermal
switch keeps the temperature of the resistor from exceed-
ing approximately 80° C.
➤
CAUTION: Do not exceed 10V across the
resistor or the resistor may be damaged.
➤
CAUTION: Because the thermal switch relies
on magnets, operation in close proximity to strong
magnetic fields may cause erratic results.
Additional Equipment Recommended:
•
External Power Supply or PASCO ScienceWorkshop
750 Interface with CI-6552A Power Amplifier.
•
CI-6505A Temperature Sensor (or equivalent tempera-
ture sensing device)
•
insulating pad
•
insulated cup
