Ball And Ring Experiment

For this experiment you will have to purchase a ball and ring apparatus.

Ball and ring experiment. 81 b0145 d hot plate with magnetic stirrer conforming either to astm or to en 1427 standards which require the water stirring for more temperature uniformity. The ball once heated will not fit through the hole equipment needed. The experiment has two rods on one is a ball and the other a ring. Ask the students how the ball could be made to fit through the ring.

Hold the ball and ring up to the class and show them that the ball does not pass through the ring. Check to see first that the ball fits through the ring 2. Heat the ball for a few minutes under the. As the ball cools you will find that it reduces in size enough to allow the ball to pass through once again.

Before you perform the next experiment try predicting what will hap pen when the ring is heated. On the end of the other is a ring through which the ball just barely fits. The ball would not pass through the ring. 81 b0145 c1 hot plate with centering protection device for 81 b0145 ring and ball apparatus.

On the end of one is a metal ball. Now give the ring time to cool and once again try passing the ball through the ring. Ball and ring experiment aim. The data sheet also includes a list of related products to help with this experiment and other lessons on temperature change thermal expansion and the laws of thermodynamics.

To show how metals expand when heated prediction. To start with the ball fits through the ring. Insert the ball through the ring. With the ball and ring comes a data sheet that provides instructions and an explanation of the properties at work in this experiment.

Heating a metal lid on a glass bottle in order to remove the lid. Then the ball is heated and it no longer fits the is because the particles have. Perform the experiment by heating the ring and show that the ball does indeed pass through. This apparatus is available in science shops as well as online.
