Energy

Energy can be described as being in different ‘stores’. It cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred, dissipated or stored in different ways.

This interactive quiz is aimed at GCSE physics students studying types of energy store, energy transfers, energy dissipation, the conservation of energy and energy calculations.

Energy is a key principle in physics, as it allows work to be done. The rate at which energy is transferred is called power and the amount of energy that is usefully transferred is called efficiency.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE physics students studying work, power and efficiency, energy and power, efficiency and electrical appliances.

Energy is transmitted by conduction, convection or radiation.The conductivity of materials can be compared by examining the time taken to transmit energy through them.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE physics students studying energy and heating, thermal conductivity, investigating methods of insulation and specific heat capacity.

Every person, animal and device transfers energy. Much of that energy is supplied by electricity, which must be generated from other energy stores. Some of these are renewable but most are non-renewable.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE physics students studying energy and heating, thermal conductivity, investigating methods of insulation and specific heat capacity.

Understanding how to approach exam questions helps boost exam performance. Questions will include multiple choice, descriptions and explanations, using mathematical skills and extended writing.
