Energy Transfers
Übersicht
Every device you use - from a phone charger to a car engine - takes energy in one form and transforms it into something useful, but none of them manages to convert all of it. Understanding where that energy goes, and how much of it actually does what you want, is one of the most practical ideas in all of physics.
In this lesson you will learn the eight energy stores that physicists use to describe where energy sits, the four transfer pathways it moves along, and why the total never changes. You will calculate efficiency, read Sankey diagrams, and explore how heat travels by conduction, convection and radiation - skills that Edexcel tests across Papers 1 and 2 every session.
Ziele
- Describe energy transfers involving energy stores: chemical, kinetic, gravitational, elastic, thermal, magnetic, electrostatic, nuclear; and energy transfers: mechanically, electrically, by heating, by radiation (light and sound)
- Use the principle of conservation of energy
- Know and use the relationship between efficiency, useful energy output and total energy output: efficiency = useful energy output / total energy output x 100%
- Describe a variety of everyday and scientific devices and situations, explaining the transfer of the input energy, including their representation by Sankey diagrams
- Describe how thermal energy transfer may take place by conduction, convection and radiation
- Explain the role of convection in everyday phenomena
- Explain how emission and absorption of radiation are related to surface and temperature
- Investigate thermal energy transfer by conduction, convection and radiation
- Explain ways of reducing unwanted energy transfer, such as insulation

Conservation of Energy
Energy, as we have noted, is conserved, making it one of the most important physical quantities in nature. The law of conservation of energy can be stated as follows: Total energy is constant in any process. It may change in form or be transferred from one system to another, but the total remains th
