Thermal and electrical conductivity of metals

Principle: The thermal conductivity of copper and aluminium is determined in a constant temperature gradient from the calorimetrically measured heat flow. The electrical conductivity of copper and aluminium is determined, and the Wiedmann-Franz law is tested.

Tasks:
1.   Determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter in a mixture experiment as a preliminary test. Measure the calefaction of water at a temperature of 0°C in a calorimeter due to the action of the ambient temperature as a function of time.
2.   To begin with, establish a constant temperature gradient in a metal rod with the use of two heat reservoirs (boiling water and ice water) After removing the pieces of ice, measure the calefaction of the cold water as a function of time and determine the thermal conductivity of the metal rod.
3.   Determine the electrical conductivity of copper and aluminium by recording a current-voltage characteristic line.
4.   Test of the Wiedmann-Franz law.
