Principle
Energy can be transmitted through heat convection, heat
radiation or heat conduction. The greater the thermal conductivity
of a wall, the higher the temperature of its exterior. This
property is used to compare the temperatures and thus the thermal
conductivity of aluminum and glass with each other by means of the
thermal generator.
In order to compare an aluminum beaker with a glass beaker, hot
water is poured into an aluminum beaker. In addition, hot water is
available in another glass beaker. The temperatures at the bottom
of these beakers are compared with each other by means of a thermal
generator. The higher the displayed voltage, the higher the
temperature.
