5F15.00Power and Energy
5F15.10electrical equalivanet of heatPIRA 1000
5F15.10electrical equivalent of heatHe-4Measure the voltage and current to a heating coil in a calorimeter.
5F15.10heat and electrical energyEh-3A heating coil in a calorimeter.
5F15.10electrical equvalent of heat26-4.4Voltage, current to a heater and temperature rise in water are measured.
5F15.10electrocalorimeterE-178Determine the power delivered by temperature change in water and compare to that computed from voltage, current, and time.
5F15.11flow calorimeterHe-7Water is heated electrically as it flows through a tube.
5F15.12heating by current from a static motE-118The ends of a piece of wood sealed in a glass tube are attached to a static machine. The half watt dissipated heats the air and an attached manometer measures the volume change.
5F15.15KWH meter and loads5F15.15Measure the power consumed by an assortment of household appliances.
5F15.16heating with currentE-171Large currents are passed through No. 18 nichrome wire and the volts and amps are measured.
5F15.17heating wires in seriesE-174Several lengths of different wires of the same length are soldered together in series and a piece of paper is hung from each by soft wax. As current is passed through the wire, the paper falls off at different times.

5F15.20hot dog cookerE-176Hook nails to 110V and place them on and then in a hot dog.
5F15.20hot dog fryingDisc 18-07Apply 110 V through a hot dog and cook it.
5F15.30fuse with 30v lampPIRA 1000
5F15.31fuse-wire problemE-173With fuse wires of different diameters connected in parallel, which will burn out first?
5F15.32vaporize wire with 500 amp surge30-1.6Short a low voltage high current transformer with zinc coated iron wire.
5F15.33fuse wireE-172Fuse wire is used with a miniature house circuit.
5F15.34fusesEh-5Fuse wire of different sizes are connected across a heavy copper buss.
5F15.35fuse with increasing loadPIRA 1000
5F15.40voltage drops in house wiresPIRA 1000
5F15.40voltage drops in house wiresDisc 18-05Two resistance wires substituting for house wiring glow when they power a load of lamps and heaters.
5F15.45IR2 lossesPIRA 1000
5F15.45I2R lossesDisc 18-06Copper and nichrome wires in series show different amounts of heating due to current. A paper rider on the nichrome wire burns.
