A Level Physics Revision: All of Thermal Physics (in 28 minutues) Part 1

[@jonathoncornly7779]

Wow, your channel has grown so much over the last couple of weeks! (you totally deserve it). On another note, I wanted to ask the purpose of the variable resistor in the experiments above?

[@jonathoncornly7779]

Also I wanted to ask why you wouldn't need a control for the Latent heat of vapourisation experiment?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated and yes, it has! Pretty awesome! So variable resistor - the purpose is to control the voltage, even if we don't vary it, if it is too high or too low this could cause problems for the experiment. You could also do it with a variable power supply.

Hi, for the specific latent heat of fusion practical, why is energy = VI? I thought power = VI? Is it to do with the time? Don’t worry just seen someone else’s comment, keep up the great videos

[@zhelyo_physics]

Yep! There is a typo should be VIT. Thanks and good luck with revision!

Could you add a little onscreen note into the video to correct mistakes. Mistakes are impossible to avoid, but it could lead to great frustration for students to not correct them.@@zhelyo_physics

[@zhelyo_physics]

great idea! I will see if I can do some in a pinned comment. I always encourage viewers to find some and if they do to drop a comment. If you are in doubt have a quick scroll through the comments and it likely would be addressed if not, let me know and I will have a look at it : ) Funnily enough when I created these videos I had no idea they would become popular! : ) Thanks for your input and for watching.

[@frankivinstutoring3775]

I just don't want learners to come away feeling there is some flaw in their understanding. To be clear, I know there is no possible way to do such great tutorials without typos. I couldn't do half as good a job, so thank you!@@zhelyo_physics

[@ettu2620]

Thanks! This really does help in my first year studies of highschool physics! :)

[@zhelyo_physics]

Anytime! Thanks for the comment!

[@kskeedits]

Hi sir, is it neccessary to mention that the temperature must stay constant in order to get all the marks for a definition question for example what is the latent heat of fusion.

[@zhelyo_physics]

In my experience no, but it can depend on exam board and the number of marks available. I would find some similar questions from your exam board and see how the marks are distributed. Hope this helps!

[@GambitStunt]

In the specific latent heat of fusion practical you have Energy calculated using VI but isn't energy VIT?

[@zhelyo_physics]

well spotted there should be a "t" in there as E=VIt

[@hot_wheels.7]

E is not equal to VI though power is 25:04 So surely you have to multiply it by the time taken to melt?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Yep,it's a typo, mentioned it in other comments.

[@fanehamilton2675]

hey at 25:10 you rearrange E/m to VI/m did you mean to put VIt/m, t being time i have never seen E= VI but could just be knowledge gap

[@zhelyo_physics]

Correct, just a typo : )

[@zarififtekhar]

Sir do you have lessons on the first law of thermodynamics and on alternating currents (rectification & smoothing) ?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Actually, not but I need to make some. Some of my Olympiad Problems apply the first law of thermodynamics to black holes and even the entire universe though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3Kzia2BiJmYmqc

Yes, PE increases while KE stays constant. Hope this helps!

hi sir, thank you so much for this video. by far the best youtube channel for physis revision. just wanted to ask, what exam board would you say has some of the easier a level questions? ocr, aqa or edexcel? thanks

[@zhelyo_physics]

thank you so much for the kind words! Very much appreciated! Sorry but impossible to answer the question, there are easier and harder questions in all exam boards : ) All the best!

[@udayreddy3705]

hi sir for specific heat capacity experiment what would be the difference if it was solid instead of liquid?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Excellent question, it's exactly the same, the only difference is that there is a liquid surrounded by the insulator.

[@lawrencedilrukshan5358]

at 25.16 you said that Energy "E" is equal to V times I . which confused me because Energy "E" is actually P times T and Therfore E=VIT ( i am i missing anythink?)

Is it best to have calculator in radians or degrees for the exam paper 1 tomorrow as having it in radians messed up my sin and cos calculations?

[@cruf9376]

for circular motion and SHM use radians every other topic should be in degrees

[@Daniel-gn3yv]

Hi sir, are all the experiments shown in the video apart of the required practical's list for ocr A physics?#

[@zhelyo_physics]

Some are, some are not. Also the required practicals can have variations and additionally they don't appear word for word in exams. I'd focus on the theory and understanding how to perform practicals. Hope this is helpful!

[@Daniel-gn3yv]

@@zhelyo_physicsHi sir, thank you for clearing that up.

[@SorabeeZ]

Absolute temp=P/mc x t y=mx+c analysis suggests that there is no y intercept but in the diagram there is a y intercept, why is this?

[@tahamuhammad5454]

because they used degrees Celsius, if you used kelvin then there would be no y-intercept as at 0 K , energy is 0

[@zakwanarif]

Is thermal physics and thermodynamics different?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Generally similar yes although there is some major differences. Thermodynamics involves the laws of thermodynamic and lots of pV diagrams and theory on engines. I have covered this in my AQA engineering video. Also at university it gets so much better as it delves deeper into entropy. Hope this helps!

[@RameenAbbas-fj3og]

Hey, do you have class notes in pdf or something for this?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Sorry only the videos are available

[@Bbbbbbbbbbhhhhhhh]

Can I ask, I thought that specific heat capacity was J kg^-1 k^-1 isn’t that right?

[@zhelyo_physics]

That is correct, in the video I simplify it further to express it as base units.

[@doraemonandchibi]

Hello, is thermocouple and resistance thermometer part of syllabus?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Depends which syllabus you do. I recommend getting the syllabus and ticking off everything as you go along.

[@shanejoy6461]

Hey I'm doing AQA but do we need to know these experiments. For paper 2 or even paper 3?

[@zhelyo_physics]

As always please check with your specification point by point, but pretty much all of this is relevant. I think there is one extra derivation, but please check with your spec as each specification has minor differences.

[@ahnafabrar8490]

Is it useful for A2 Level IGCSE Physics?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Do you mean A2 A Level Physics, if so yes. For GCSE I recommend my GCSE channel, ZGCSE. Hope this helps!

[@engineeringmadeasy]

at 25:12, I think you forgot to include time in you the Equation of Energy.

[@zhelyo_physics]

correct! Thanks for mentioning.

[@engineeringmadeasy]

If I write all the steps about how to calculate (c) ( the experiment) will I able to get all the marks?

[@zhelyo_physics]

depends on the question, typically they try to put the theory into a new situation and add a twist to the question but as long as you understand the theory and remember the steps, you will be be able to apply them and get the marks : )

[@MarwanNazif]

Hi sir, what is the point of all the variable resistors?

[@zhelyo_physics]

Excellent question, they often appear in exam questions as a way of controlling the p.d. in circuits. In practice, most schools and colleges use a variable power supply for the practicals. In this practical, even if the p.d. is fixed, it's still good to be able to fix it a p.d. we want, e.g. 6V by adjusting the variable resistor. Hope this helps!

[@studywithyan697]

Book mark for my self: 16:30

[@manofsteel6157]

Hi, how come for the practical for specific heat capacity there’s a variable resistor in the circuit? Anyways, great video 😊

[@zhelyo_physics]

The exam board normally uses this as a way to control the voltage. In this experiment we don't really vary the voltage but we need to set it to a value we want and then keep it there. Hope this helps!

Why does potential energy increase during phase transition?

[@zhelyo_physics]

the physics is applicable to all exam boards, I teach OCR A at college but also tutor AQA and Edexcel and familiar with those specs

V*I is only the power. Don't you need to multiply the (V*I) with time to get the power?

Yep! It's a typo.

[@gautammorkhandikar394]

do you have any tips to try and remember these experiments its a lot of information 😂

[@zhelyo_physics]

I would say try to learn them through the understanding of the concepts rather than memorising. E.g. You can only measure V, I and t so you can work out Power, which is energy/time, rearranging for Energy you get PT and then set that equal to mc*delta T and then go from there. You got this!

what?

[@L4ADI1]

Hi sir, could you explain the difference between electrostatic potential energy and potential energy. I read something that said that a gas a zero electrostatic potential energy becuase there are no electrostatic forces of attraction betwen the particles and i was wondering how this differs from potential energy.

[@zhelyo_physics]

excellent question. Electrostatic potential energy is a form of kinetic energy. A good way of thinking about it is any form of energy that can be coverted to KE, e.g. - positive and negative nucleus some distance apart, the system has the potential for attraction and for the particles to gain speed. Hope this helps!

Sir I follow AQA exam board, will this video still be good for me?
