G3 Pure Physics / O‑Level Physics: Thermal Processes structured questions
Structured and data-based Paper 2 practice for thermal physics: kinetic model, heat transfer (conduction/convection/radiation), thermal equilibrium, specific heat capacity, and latent heat.
Learning objectives
- Explain heating from higher to lower temperature until thermal equilibrium
- Describe conduction in solids through particle vibration and mobile electrons
- Describe convection in fluids through density changes and bulk motion
- Explain that energy transfer by electromagnetic radiation needs no material medium
- Explain how surface colour, texture, temperature and area affect radiation transfer rate
- Apply conduction, convection and radiation in everyday systems
