Heating and internal energy
Heating and internal energy
Heating is the transfer of energy from a higher-temperature region to a lower-temperature region. It is a transfer pathway, not an energy store, so an object does not “contain heat”.
Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel GCSE Physics 14.2 Specific heat capacity and latent heat. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Master the required practical work and core equations early, since both papers can draw on content and maths skills from across the whole specification.
