Hi there,
As part of my A2 physics coursework investigation, i want to calculate the efficiency of an aluminium canister modeled as a solar collector.
The basic set up of the apparatus is:
- Lamp (40W light bulb) at a fixed distance of 5cm away from the aluminium canister (which is painted black, and the half of the canister not being penetrated by light is covered with insulating material - carpetty)
What measurements need to be taken? Can you provide me with a step-by-step guide of how to calculate the efficiency with equations.
Thanks a lot!
