An object ot group of Objects
1 of 17
What can happen to energy?
Transferred, Dissipated, Stored
2 of 17
Efficienty eqn
Useful / Total
3 of 17
Closed System
System where energy does not eneter or leave.
4 of 17
Reliable
Does not depend on uncontrollable factors (such as weather)
5 of 17
For RP2 the independant variable is...
Insulator or number of layers
6 of 17
Potential difference Deffinition
Work done per unit charge
7 of 17
Current deffinition
Rate of flow of charge
8 of 17
What causes Resistance?
The moving electrons can collide with the ions in the metal. This makes it more difficult for the current to flow, and causes resistance.
9 of 17
For themistors, as temperature increases, resistance
Decreases
10 of 17
For LDRs, as light intensity increases, resistance
Decreases
11 of 17
Explain Step up Transformers
Increases Voltage, which decreases curent, meaning less energy is lost as heat.
12 of 17
Step Down Transfromers...
Decrease voltage to safe levels, this increases the current increasing energy loss as heat.
13 of 17
Why can a solid not be compressed?
As the molecules are already very closely packed due to the strong intermolecular forces.
14 of 17
Internal energy =
Kinetic plus potential energy of all the particles in a system.
15 of 17
Specific latent heat deffinition
Is the amount of energy required to change the state of 1 kilogram (kg) of a material without changing its temperature. Fusion / Vaporisation.
16 of 17
Gasses are in
Constant random motion
