Perform an experiment to investigate the hotness of the porridge in cup A as compared to that in cup B. Use the procedures provided and then answer the questions that followed. Procedures: (a) Fill the metal cup A with hot water whose temperature should initially be about 80 oC, put it on the wooden base. (b) Constantly stir the hot water in the cup A and record the temperature of the water for every 1 minute. (c) Continue reading the temperature θC for 15 minutes. (d) Empty cup A and put it into a measuring cylinder. Record its volume as V. (e) Repeat procedures in 2 (a) – (c) for metal cup B. Measure the same volume V as obtained in (c).

Conduct an experiment to determine the approximate value of the internal resistance of the dry cell. Procedures: (a) Connect a dry cell, an ammeter, a voltmeter, a key K and rheostat in series. (b) Join a voltmeter across the battery terminal. (c) With the Key K open, record the voltmeter reading. (d) With the Key K closed, adjust the rheostat so that the ammeter pointer is at exactly 0.2 A, and record its corresponding voltmeter reading in volts. (e) Repeat procedure 3 (d) with ammeter readings of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 A.
