| 5F15.00 | Power and Energy | | |
| 5F15.10 | electrical equalivanet of heat | PIRA 1000 | |
| 5F15.10 | electrical equivalent of heat | He-4 | Measure the voltage and current to a heating coil in a calorimeter. |
| 5F15.10 | heat and electrical energy | Eh-3 | A heating coil in a calorimeter. |
| 5F15.10 | electrical equvalent of heat | 26-4.4 | Voltage, current to a heater and temperature rise in water are measured. |
| 5F15.10 | electrocalorimeter | E-178 | Determine the power delivered by temperature change in water and compare to that computed from voltage, current, and time. |
| 5F15.11 | flow calorimeter | He-7 | Water is heated electrically as it flows through a tube. |
| 5F15.12 | heating by current from a static mot | E-118 | The
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. |
| 5F15.15 | KWH meter and loads | 5F15.15 | Measure the power consumed by an assortment of household appliances. |
| 5F15.16 | heating with current | E-171 | Large currents are passed through No. 18 nichrome wire and the volts and amps are measured. |
| 5F15.17 | heating wires in series | E-174 | Several
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. |
| 5F15.20 | hot dog cooker | PIRA 500 | |
| 5F15.20 | hot dog/pickle cooker | 5F15.20 | |
| 5F15.20 | hot dog cooker | E-176 | Hook nails to 110V and place them on and then in a hot dog. |
| 5F15.20 | hot dog frying | Disc 18-07 | Apply 110 V through a hot dog and cook it. |
| 5F15.30 | fuse with 30v lamp | PIRA 1000 | |
| 5F15.31 | fuse-wire problem | E-173 | With fuse wires of different diameters connected in parallel, which will burn out first? |
| 5F15.32 | vaporize wire with 500 amp surge | 30-1.6 | Short a low voltage high current transformer with zinc coated iron wire. |
| 5F15.33 | fuse wire | E-172 | Fuse wire is used with a miniature house circuit. |
| 5F15.34 | fuses | Eh-5 | Fuse wire of different sizes are connected across a heavy copper buss. |
| 5F15.35 | fuse with increasing load | PIRA 1000 | |
| 5F15.40 | voltage drops in house wires | PIRA 1000 | |
| 5F15.40 | voltage drops in house wires | Disc 18-05 | Two resistance wires substituting for house wiring glow when they power a load of lamps and heaters. |
| 5F15.45 | IR2 losses | PIRA 1000 | |
| 5F15.45 | I2R losses | Disc 18-06 | Copper and nichrome wires in series show different amounts of heating due to current. A paper rider on the nichrome wire burns. |
