Heating and particle energy

Heating and particle energy

Heating curve for water with sloping warming sections and flat melting and boiling plateaus labelled

Heating transfers energy into a system, such as water in a beaker or ice in a test tube. Temperature tells you about the average kinetic energy of particles, while thermal energy is the total energy stored in all the particles.

Heating, specific heat and latent heat Lesson

  1. GCSE
  2. /Physics
  3. /Heating, specific heat and latent heat

Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel GCSE Physics Heating, specific heat and latent heat for Foundation and Higher tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 2 format. Master the required practical work and core equations early, since both papers can draw on content and maths skills from across the whole specification.
