Description
The Lascells Energy Meter provides an all-in-one solution to teaching Specific Heat Capacity. With real-time read out of voltage, current, time and temperature, all measurement parameters are provided on the display screen for students to calculate Specific Heat Capacity from first principles. Energy and charge measurements are also displayed, in watt-hours and amp-hours respectively. Intended for use with calorimeter blocks, a detachable probe is provided for fast-response temperature measurements. With extended voltage range, the energy of lower voltage devices can be recorded, allowing it to be used for measuring efficiency of energy transfer, and measuring power in electronic circuits.
Key Features:
– Built-in timing (stop-watch) function with a resolution of minutes
– Measure amp-hours and watt-hours for periods up to 200 hours
– 4 mm shrouded test sockets for easy connection to PSUs and immersion heaters

Discover an efficient, and easy way to deliver the GCSE Physics Required Practical on specific heat capacity with this comprehensive walkthrough of the experiment. In this video, we explain what specific heat capacity is and why it matters—featuring a powerful real-world example from the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster. You’ll learn how to carry out the experiment using an Energy Meter to simplify your setup and reduce equipment clutter, replacing voltmeters, ammeters, stopwatches and thermometers with one unit. The specific heat capacity of water is measured, compared to the known value, and % error calculations are detailed and explained through energy loss.
