Investigation into the temperature rise of water when heated by an electric immersion heater Plan: Introduction and aim: In this investigation I am aiming to find out how changing the time an immersion heater is under water for, will affect the temperature of that water due to the amount of energy the water particles will have. An immersion heater transfers electrical energy from the power supply into thermal energy. It will then pass that thermal energy to its surroundings, in this case, the water particles I am planning to heat. The water particles close to the heater will then have more thermal energy than before so will vibrate quicker, colliding more often with other water particles and passing the thermal energy onto them. As time goes by, and the water particles gain more thermal energy from the immersion heater, I will be measuring the temperature of the water at regular intervals to...
