wait do u have to draw circuit 1 or 2 ??

i think its circuit 2 ... so basically AB is one resistor and BC is one resistor ... these are connected in series

then CD is a resistor in parrallel ...

then a voltage also connected in parrallel ... then connect all of that to an ammeter and continue the circuit ....

hope u understand .. if u dont ill try putting up a pic.

Amber it would be gd if u put a pic!!
Your explanations i guess will confuse him!
If i fall along the way pick me up and dust me off...and if i get too tired to make it..be my breath so i can walk!!

hey.
i have a question here.
physics-oct/nov 2008 paper 3 question 5c)
its about u have to calculate the value of the spcfc latent heat of fusion of ice.
i knew the how to do this,generally.but,what is the significnce of the 2.1 g of ice melted during the extra 2mins?why do we hve to subtract them from 16.3g?
Thanks.

yup cuz that amount of ice melts due to heat taken from the surroundings.

ny ... to ur question .. bascially 16.3 is the mass we started with and 2.1 is wen the heater is switched off ...

latent heat is how much heat can they take ... so u subtract these two to find the mass that melted because of the heater ....

thats why we subtract the 2

and heres the pics :D

so,is 16.3g  the original mass of the ice ?i thought that 16.3g is the mass of the ice melted after we heated them.

it melted during the heater is on .. and the heater was switched off and 2.1g melted without the heater ...
