HEAT AND ELECTRICITY

Cards (38)

  • HEAT
    • is a form of energy.
    • Can be expressed in terms of unit Calorie and Joule.
    • The calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water to 1°C.
  • THERMAL ENERGY
    • refers to the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
    • the hotness or coldness of an object or system
  • INTERNAL ENERGY
    • refers to the total energy in a closed system of molecules, considering the kinetic and potential energies.
  • A hot object contains high amount of thermal energy and when this is transferred into a cold object, it is now called heat.
  • Heat is Thermal Energy in transit/transfer.
  • The direction of energy is always from a warmer object to a relatively cooler object.
  • Heat is a measure of the internal energy that has been absorbed or transferred from one body to another.
  • Heating – the process of increasing the internal energy.
  • Cooling – the process of decreasing the internal energy.
  • TEMPERATURE
    • is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of an object.
    • We can describe the temperature in terms of Celsius (C), Fahrenheit (F), Kelvin, and Rankine.
    • The instrument we used to measure this is the thermometer.
  • Internal energy is dependent on the amount of substance. The greater the amount of substance, the higher the internal energy.
  • Internal energy is also proportional to the temperature of the substance. Hence, giving off heat decreases the internal energy. It decreases the temperature as well.
  • CONDUCTION - is the process by which heat occurs through a medium from one point to another.
  • CONDUCTORS
    Materials through which heat energy passes through
  • INSULATORS
    Materials that do not allow heat to pass through
  • CONVECTION - is the process wherein thermal energy is transmitted from one material to another by the movement of heated particles of a fluid
  • The movement of liquids and gases to warmer region produces current.
  • Radiation involves the form of energy called radiant energy
  • radiant energy – energy that moves through space.
  • The body’s temperature decreases as it emits infrared radiation.
  • ELECTRICITY
    It is also called electrical energy.
    It is a collective term describing a phenomenon also associated with the interaction between electrically charged particles.
  • ELECTRICAL ENERGY
    A form of energy that comes from electrically charged
    bodies such as ions and electrons
  • Electric Charge is a fundamental property of matter. It is an intrinsic characteristic associated with atomic particles, the electron and proton.
  • NUCLEUS - is a core containing most of the mass of the atom in the form of protons and neutrons.
  • ELECTRON – negatively charged particle found outside the nucleus
  • PROTON – positively charged particle
  • NEUTRON – neutrally charged particle
  • Like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.
  • Triboelectric Effect is the phenomena of the electrical effects that arise from contact between two materials.
  • The process of rubbing two materials together and separating them to produce the below effect is called electrification or charging by contact.
  • CHARGING is a process by which an insulator or an insulated conductor receives a net charge.
  • Charging can be done by friction, conduction, and induction.
  • CHARGING BY FRICTION
    • the process in which the body gets charged when it is rubbed against another body.
  • CHARGING BY CONDUCTION
    • requires contact between a neutral body and a charged object.
    • also called charging by contact.
    • produces similar charges.
  • Charging by
    A) conduction
  • CHARGING BY INDUCTION
    • produces opposite charges.
    • A body gets charged by a charged object without touching each other.
  • INDUCTION
    • the process by which an electrical conductor becomes electrified when near a charged body
  • RADIATION – is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic (EM) waves. It can take place in a vacuum.
