Electromagnetic induction - SP13 Flashcards
What can a changing magnetic field induce in a conductor?
potential difference
what does the size of the potential difference in a conductor depend on?
- number of turn s in a coil of wire
- field strenth of magnet used
- rate of change of magnetic field strength
what is the temperature of a substances measured by?
movement of particles
what does the amount of thermal energy stored in an object depend on?
temperature, mass and material
what is specific heat capacity of a substance?
amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of 1kg of that substance by 1C
what 2 things cpould happen when heat energy is put into an object?
increase temp or change state
what does heat capacity do?
tell us how much temperature of an object will change
what odes latent heat do?
tell us how much of an object (in kg) will change state
what is specific latent capacity of a substance?
amount of energy required to change state of 1kg of a substance
