Question 50
In groups, do this experiment to investigate the process of conduction in a solid.
1 Place a metal rod with one end in the clamp, as shown in Figure 10.18.
2 Use a thermometer to measure the temperatures of both ends of the rod. Record your readings.
3 Light a Bunsen burner and place it such that the flame is under the free end of the rod. Keep a safe distance from the flame.
4 Wait about 5 minutes for the rod to heat up. Measure the temperatures of the free end, middle and clamped end of the rod. Record your readings.
