The deck explains the concepts of heat and temperature, and how they are related. The set is part of a series of lessons on energy and is aimed at IGCSE Physics students
Heat
The total thermal energy of vibrating particles.
Temperature
The average total kinetic energy in particles
Unit for heat
Joules (J)
Specific Heat Capacity
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of an object by a unit mass.
Specific Heat Capacity Formula
Energy/Mass x Change in Temperature
Unit for Temperature
°C/F/K
Specific Heat Capacity Unit
J/kgK
Temperature
degree of hotness/coldness
What does the temperature tell?
Whenether heat will flow in or out of an object
What happens when temperature decreases?
The particles move slower
Absolute zero point
Absolute zero
The point where the particles completely stop moving
Formula to change degrees to kelvin
Add 273
