Investigation into the Factors that Determine the Temperature Rise of Electrically Heated Water Planning When a circuit is set up as shown above there are a number of factors that affect the temperature rise, and rate of rise for electrically heated water. Factors include: voltage supplied by the power pack, resistance of the electric heater, current in the circuit, amount of time that water is heated for, mass of water being heated and amount of heat lost from the water, (difficult to measure). When water is electrically heated electrical energy is converted into heat energy. To see how much of this energy is being converted by the heater we can assess its power. The power of an electric heater can be found using the equation, Power = Current x Voltage Once we know the power of the heater it is easy to work out the amount of 'work' that it is doing. Work...
