What Temperature rise and energy transfer means in Physics A-Level, as defined for OCR.
Definition of Temperature rise and energy transfer
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Temperature rise and energy transfer in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
A rise in temperature increases the average random kinetic energy of the particles, so the internal energy of the body increases.
