1. Thermal Expansion
A. Copper (for example)
calibration factor to convert it into ]
Initial Length,
Final Temperature, [similar like above]
Elongation,
Use the formula for thermal expansion,
Also use the formula to find the error,
B. For Aluminum/Steel [Do similarly]
2. Charles’ Law
We know the volume of a cylinder is, . As during this process, only height is
changing, therefore, we can conclude that
Therefore we can write the relation of Charles’ Law for this experiment as follows:
where is a proportionality constant.
If the dependence between the height
h
of the cylinder and the temperature
T
is linear,
then the Charles’ Law is verified.
