Energy Transfer By Heating Flashcards
1
Q
All metals are good thermal conductors true or false
A
True
2
Q
How can you reduce the rate of thermal energy transfer
A
Have a low thermal conductivity as possible, be as thick as possible
3
Q
What is specific heat capacity
A
When you heatA substance, you transfer energy to it. This increases its temperature the specific heat capacity of the substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1°C
4
Q
What is the specific heat capacity equation
A
Mass x shc x temperature change
