- Record the initial temperature of you block.
- Switch on the heater and start your stopwatch.
[You will now leave the heater on for 10 minutes] - While the heater is switched on take readings from the
Ammeter and the Voltmeter. - Use these to calculate the Thermal Energy that will be
supplied to the block in 10 minutes - Record the temperature of your block after 10 minutes.
- Calculate the Change in Temperature
