Physics HL

The particulate nature of matter

B: Thermal transfers, greenhouse effect, gas laws, thermodynamics, and circuits.

Calculate thermal energy transfers Use specific heat capacity and latent heat Explain greenhouse energy balance Apply ideal gas relationships Interpret pressure, volume, and temperature data Analyse current, potential difference, and resistance Solve series and parallel circuit problems Calculate electrical power and energy transfer Apply the first law of thermodynamics Analyse heat engines and thermal efficiency Use entropy and second-law reasoning
