Hey guys do u have some tips and tricks for solving numericals of Caloriemetry in physics???? plz reply Cool

Active member

while doing the sums always write the steps in detail and the principle used for solving it .then write the units correctly

first try to understand if prob has twists.........like does it involves only incerese in temp.....or even phase change is involed also.......n der r harld 2 formulas just remember dem......n also solve problm in sytematic way dat help u even solve comlicated problm........

alway draw the graph and check where is the change happening
ie loss or gain in temperature?on he slope or the 2 plateaus?
follow the graph accordin to the question

i feel that 1 shuld nt learn d formula
set it on ur own it will b easy
for eg:-
heat lost by d hot body=heat gained by the cold body+heat gained by d calorimeter
nw put d formula of each
n yes always remember while solvin d numericals dat temperature of d calorimeter is d same as d temperature of liquid contained in it.

Read the question and understand the the entire question first then things become simpler. If u get confused write down all the values before doin the sum and do it step by step in calorimeter most of the sums r just direct substitution of the formulae so as long as u understand the question and do the rit substitution and knw the formulae ul get it rit
