Heat Energy Flashcards
Learn about heat transfer and anomalous expansion of water
How do materials conduct heat?
Passing energy from molecule to molecule
If it causes an electron to move it is
An electric current
The passing of heat energy does not involve
Flow of molecules themselves
Conventional current occurs when
Liquid or gas rises above a source of heat
Convection occurs as a result of
Change in density
Radiant heat is absorbed by
All objects causing a temperature rise
When water contrasts,its
Density increases
When water freezes,its
Volume increases
Water reaches its maximum density at
4 degree Celsius
When a pond is freezing over, the water at the bottom of the pond is
4 degree Celsius
Water has its minimum volume at
4 degree Celsius
E.m.f is equal to
Power ÷current
Absolute zero of a gas is where the
Volume becomes zero
In pressure law, gas is heated but
Not allowed to expand
Heat capacity depends on
Mass
