| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is power and what do we measure it in? | Rate of energy transfer, measured in Watts |
| Equation for power? | P=E/t |
| Give 2 insulating techniques | Double glazing, cavity walls |
| Insulation practical | Pour hot water into can or beaker, measure initial temp and how long it takes to get to desired temp, repeat with different materials around can/beaker or multiple layers |
| Give the hooke's law equation | Force= spring constant x extension (m) |
| Practical for springs and hookes law? | Add masses on to spring to change force, measure extension, plot force on Y axis and extension on X axis |
| Equation for Elastic potential energy? | E=1/2 x KE squared |
| What do voltmeters measure and how are they connected | Parallel to desired component and measure potential difference |
| Equation for PD | V=E/Q |
| Say this in words | Volts = Energy / Charge (Coulombs) |
| Equation for current? | I=Q/t |
| Equation for PD with resistance. | V=IR |
| What is p.d in a series circuit? | Shared between components |
| What is total resistance in a series circuit? | All resistance added up |
| What are the 3 rules for parallel circuits. | P.d same for every branch, current shared between each branch, adding more resisters reduces total |
| Equation for Power? | P=VI |
| What does Neutral wire stay at? | 0V |
| What is the average PD of live wire? | 230V |
| What is the earth wire? | Acts as a safety measure, its an escape route for currents that would cause an electric shock if touched |
| What is the national grid? | Distributes electricity to where it is needed |
| What do we draw for current in wire? | Circular rings pointing right |
| Equation for Force in motor effect | F=BIL |
| What is the B and what do we measure in? | Magnetic flux density (Tesla) |
| Practical for finding magnetic flux density. | Measure mass and convert to N, measure length of wire in field |
| Equation for density? | Mass/Volume |
| What is internal energy? | Sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of all particles in a substance |
| What is 0K in Celcius? | -273 (Absolute zero) |
