?
How is heat transferred?
Radiation, conduction or convection
1 of 17
Heat radiation is the transfer of heat energy by...?
Infrared radiation
2 of 17
Conduction and convection involve the transfer of energy by...?
Particles
3 of 17
When does convection occur?
Convection occurs when the more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler region and take their heat energy with them
4 of 17
What is condensation?
Condensation is when gas turns to liquids
5 of 17
What is evaporation?
Evaporation is when liquid turns to gas
6 of 17
What are 5 examples of insulation?
loft insulation, hot water tank jacket, double glazing, draught-proofing and cavity wall insulation
7 of 17
What is the equation for payback time?
Payback time= initial cost/ annual saving
8 of 17
What is the equation for specific heat capacity?
Energy transferred= mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change (E= m x c x 0)
9 of 17
List the nine types of energy
electrical, light, sound, kinetic, nuclear, thermal, gravitational potential, elastic potential and chemical energy
10 of 17
Equation for efficiency?
Efficiency= useful energy out/ total energy in
11 of 17
What are the units for energy?
Kilowatt- hours (kWh)
12 of 17
4 examples of non renewable resources
coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear fuels
13 of 17
8 examples of renewable resources
wind, waves, tides, hydroelectric, solar, geothermal, food and biofuels
14 of 17
How is electricity distributed?
Via the national grid
15 of 17
Why is it much easier to boost the voltage up really high?
Because having high current makes you lose loads of energy through the heat in the cables
16 of 17
List the EM waves
Radio, micro, infrared, visible, ultra violet, X- Ray and gamma
