0 1 A student investigates how the thermal conductivity of different
materials can be compared using a heat source and a temperature
sensor.
0 1 . 1 State two variables the student should control to ensure valid results
[2 marks]
0 1 . 2 Explain your first answer to the above question (1.1)

0 1 . 4 The student measures the temperature difference after heating for 30
seconds. Why is the time kept constant for all materials?
[1 mark]
0 1 . 5 The student records a temperature change of 20C for Material A and 25C
for Material B
Which material has a higher thermal conductivity? Explain why using the
concept of energy transfer.
[4 marks]
0 1 . 6 The student increases the surface area of the material in contact with the heat
source. Predict how this change might affect the temperature change for a
material with high thermal conductivity.
