CIE A Level Physics复习笔记15.1.1 The Mole
Amount of Substance In thermodynamics, the amount of substance is measured in the SI unit ‘mole’ This has the symbol mol The mole is a unit of substance, not a unit of mass The mole is defined as: ...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记14.2.2 Specific Latent Heat Capacity
Defining Latent Heat Capacity Energy is required to change the state of substance Examples of changes of state are: Melting = solid to liquid Evaporation/vaporisation/boiling = liquid to gas Sublim...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记14.2.1 Specific Heat Capacity
Defining Specific Heat Capacity The specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as: The amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 °C This quantity ...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记14.1.4 The Kelvin Scale
Scale of Thermodynamic Temperature As an everyday scale of temperature, Celsius (oC) is the most familiar This scale is based on the properties of water - the freezing point of water was taken as t...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记14.1.3 Measurement of Temperature
Measurement of Temperature A thermometer is any device that is used to measure temperature Each type of thermometer uses a physical property of a material that varies with temperature - examples of...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记14.1.2 Thermal Equilibrium
Defining Thermal Equilibrium Thermal energy is always transferred from a hotter region to lower region Thermal equilibrium is defined as: When two substances in physical contact with each other no ...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记14.1.1 Thermal Energy Transfer
Thermal Energy Transfer The conservation of energy states that energy is never created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another When a thermometer is placed in a beaker of boiling wa...
