About This Product
Placed between a power supply and a load such as an immersion heater, the joulemeter shows the energy transferred through its LED, which flashes once for every 100 J. Used with calorimeter blocks, the readings let students calculate specific heat capacity. Although it can drive loads up to 10 A, it is ideally used with loads between 0.4 and 4 A, where accuracy is ±5%.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What load range gives the stated accuracy? Loads requiring between 0.4 and 4 A give an accuracy of ±5%. The unit can drive loads up to 10 A.
