Why is it important and how to measure - Specific Heat Capacity | Required GCSE Physics Practical

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.
