Energetics 1 ch Quiz

20 Questions

Quiz Description

In this quiz on Energetics, we shall dive into some concepts like; the boiling, melting, and triple points of water, specific heat capacity, various thermometer types, and so on. With this quiz, you will have a broad understanding and will be able to answer various questions on these concepts.

Energetics is a branch of physics that studies the various forms of energy, and their transformation. Real-life usage of energy can be seen as using the electrical energy stored in batteries to power and operate our electronic gadgets, and this energy must have been converted from another form (like solar energy). Another form of energy conversion could be the conversion of chemical energy stored in food, to mechanical energy when we exercise our bodies. So what is energy?

Energy is the ability or capacity to do work. There are many kinds of energy like solar energy, electrical energy, mechanical energy, nuclear energy, etc

This quiz is just one of the many quizzes on A level Physics made available on this platform. Test your understanding of the topic by playing the quiz. Good luck.
