  1. A. To increase the temperature of the environment
  2. B. To reduce heat transfer
  3. C. To measure energy output
  4. D. To create a closed system

Answer

To reduce heat transfer

Explanation

The correct option is "To reduce heat transfer". To reduce heat transfer is right because it directly matches Energy transfers in a system: Identify apparatus and techniques used in thermal insulation practical work.. The other options are less suitable because they change the required Physics relationship, confuse the relevant energy store or use a distractor that does not answer the question.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding Apparatus Use

Students often confuse the purpose of different apparatus used in thermal insulation experiments, such as mistaking a thermometer for a calorimeter.

Review the function of each piece of apparatus and ensure you understand how they contribute to measuring thermal insulation effectiveness.
