2.2.2 Specific heat capacity
| Core | Supplement |
|---|---|
1 Know that a rise in the temperature of an object increases its internal energy | 2 Describe an increase in temperature of an object in terms of an increase in the average kinetic energies of all of the particles in the object 3 Define specific heat capacity as the energy required per unit mass per unit temperature increase; recall and use the equation |
4 Describe experiments to measure the specific heat capacity of a solid and a liquid
