Re: Meauring Volts?





1) How much thermal energy (heat) was lost by A?
Q1=c*m*dT1=1*10000*25=250,000 cal

How many time must how many say that "heat" is not "energy".

Since the majority here (and in the rest of the physics
community) are quite
comfortable with the term heat = thermal energy, you can say it
ad-infinitum
(which unfortunately you are prone to do). I for one am REALLY tired of
this pointless and never ending debate.

Better watch out the physics police will raid you. If you don't believe in
them, remember the Bush administration is going to purge from government web
sites information that "runs counter to current Administration priorities."
If they don't have a physics police they may just form one. I wonder what
their policy on "heat" is.
