  • equation linked with current,pd,resistence
    V=IR
  • equation linked to energy,power,time
    E=P×\timest
  • thermistor
    thermistor
  • temp increases
    pd is constant
    current increases cus the
    resistance decreases
  • alpha particle is same as helium nucleus
    how many times bigger is the radius of a helium atom than the radius of an alpha particle
    more than 10 000 times bigger
  • alpha particles ionise in the air.
    What happens to an atom when it is ionised by an alpha particle
    -the atom becomes a positive ion
    -The atom loses an electron
  • why can't a spark detector detect beta radiation
    Beta radiation is only weakly ionising
  • renewable energy
    -solar
    -waves
    -tidal
    -wind
  • the battery can be changed by a wind turbine or generator Why is it useful?
    -no wind ,still can be charged
    -less wind ,fuel is burned
  • One environmental impact of using fossil fuels to generate electricity
    the CO2_2 released increases global warming.
  • zero error
    a number is written -has to start on 0
  • name given to the energy needed to change the state of the liquid coolant
    latent heat of vaporisation
