Exam-hall rules, element on

This is the boss. No calculator — the numbers are chosen to carry in your head, the way a well-set final always is. One kettle, worked line by line, and every answer feeds the next: write them down as you go.

Everything from the chapter rides in it — the climb priced by mc ΔTmc\,\Delta T, the plateau priced by mLmL, the legs added, and the element’s kilowatts turning joules into minutes (a kilowatt is a kilojoule every second — sixty of them to the minute). 5★ under par here is the chapter crown. Put the kettle on.

mcpQΔT

Q=mcΔTQ = m c \Delta T

  • QQ= Heat energy (energy)
  • mm= Mass (mass)
  • cpc_p= Specific heat capacity (specific heat capacity)
  • ΔT\Delta T= Temperature change (temperature difference)
Sensible Heat (Q = mcΔT) solver →
QLmm

Q=mLQ = m L

  • QQ= Heat absorbed or released (energy)
  • mm= Mass changing phase (mass)
  • LL= Specific latent heat (specific latent heat)
Latent Heat solver →

P=WtP = \frac{W}{t}

  • PP= Power (power)
  • WW= Work or energy (energy)
  • tt= Time (time)
