If the final temperature was determined incorrectly (a value greater than the true value was obtained), how would this affect the calculated value of the specific heat? Explain your answer.

Question 2

Two conducting wires A and B of the same length and radius are connected across the same potential difference. Conductor A has twice the resistivity of conductor B. What is the ratio of the power delivered to A to the power delivered to B?
  1.2

Answer to Question 1

The value for the specific heat will be much greater because the temperature
difference for the water and the calorimeter cup will increase and the temperature
difference for the metal will decrease. The specific heat for the metal is determined
by dividing water and cup values by the metal values.

Answer to Question 2

5
