About temperature and thermal physics notes
GoConqr OriginalWhat these temperature and thermal physics notes cover
The notes on this page cover temperature, heat capacity, latent heat and heat transfer. Thermal Physics includes the kinetic model of matter and its states. Equation of State of an Ideal Gas offers a route into the gas topic.
How to revise with notes
Start with Temperature & Heat: Temperature for a short account of temperature and its units. Then read Temperature & Heat: Heat Transfer alongside Temperature & Heat: Latent Heat to compare transfer with a change of state.
After reading a section, cover it and write down the main idea in your own words. Return to the note to check what you missed. If you want to test your recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page; use a mind map when you want to see ideas arranged visually. Pick a note that matches the topic you are revising.
Frequently asked questions
Which notes are a useful starting point?
Temperature & Heat: Temperature is a starting point if you want to review temperature and its units. For heat transfer, Temperature & Heat: Heat Transfer introduces conduction. You can then read Temperature & Heat: Latent Heat for notes on changes of state without a temperature change.
Do these notes cover the kinetic model of matter?
Yes. Thermal Physics includes notes on the kinetic model and states of matter. P2 Kinetic Theory also discusses how temperature relates to particle motion. These can be read alongside the notes on heat transfer or latent heat when revising related parts of the unit.
Are the notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed on this page is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
