Specific Heat Capacity v Specific Latent Heat (OCR GCSE Physics A (Gateway Science Suite)): Flashcards

Energy to raise temp of 1 kg by 1°C

Heat energy needed to change temperature

Energy to change state of 1 kg (no temp change)

Energy for state change without affecting temperature

Temperature change

State change

Remains constant

Breaks or forms bonds between particles

$\Delta E=mc\Delta\theta$

$E=mL$
