The illustration below is used to produce a measured rise in temperature of a liquid using electrical energy.
Explain why;
i) The liquid will tend to be warmer at the top of the container than at the bottom.
ii) The temperature will eventually stop rising even though the current is still passing through the heating coil.
iii) If the apparatus is used to determine the specific heat capacity of the liquid, the accuracy of the experiment will be increased if the liquid is first cooled to about 5oc below room temperature and the current passed until the temperature is about 5oc above room temperature.
