Heating, temperature and internal energy
Heating, temperature and internal energy
When an object is heated, its internal energy increases. In particle terms, a higher temperature means particles have greater average kinetic energy.
Step-by-step lessons on CIE IGCSE Physics 2.2.2a Internal energy and temperature. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build a strong foundation in mechanics and electricity before tackling the more mathematically demanding astrophysics and nuclear topics.
