Energy changes in systems
AQA GCSE Physics (8463) — Energy
What You Need to Know
Calculate the amount of energy stored in or released from a system as its temperature changes using the equation:
ΔE=mcΔθ
Define the specific heat capacity of a substance as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of the substance by one degree Celsius.
Investigate the specific heat capacity of one or more materials, linking the decrease of one energy store (or work done) to the increase in temperature and subsequent increase in thermal energy stored.
