differences in amplitude of a stimulus from a voltage source. By analyzing the changes in action potential‚ we will be able to determine whether there is a certain trend in the action potentials and whether or not the nerve will reach a saturation point at which there will no longer be a change in the value of the action potential. Also‚ we will analyze the change in speed of the propagation of the action potential due to alterations in amplitudes of the stimuli. We predict this speed of propagation to be

1 Honors Laboratory: Specific Heat and Conservation of Energy When energy in the form of heat Q is added to a material‚ the temperature of the material rises. Note that temperature‚ in units of degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K)‚ is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is‚ while heat‚ in units of joules (J) or calories (cal)‚ is a measure of its thermal energy. 1cal = 4.19J. A measure of the efficiency with which a substance can store this heat energy is known as specific heat capacity‚ or simply
