Key Topics to Revise
Heat and Temperature - Fundamental Concepts
- Heat is the internal energy of molecules constituting a body and flows from hot body to cold body
- Heat is a form of energy obtained by doing work, passing electric current, or burning fuel
- Temperature determines the direction of flow of heat between two bodies
Anomalous Expansion of Water
- Water expands on cooling from 4°C to 0°C instead of contracting
- Water has minimum volume and maximum density at 4°C
- Density of water at 4°C = 1 g/cm³ or 1000 kg/m³
Energy Flow and Ecosystem
- Energy flow in ecosystem is linear and unidirectional
- Sun is the primary source of energy for all ecosystems
- Only 0.02% of solar energy falling on plants is used in photosynthesis
Energy Sources - Renewable and Non-Renewable
- Renewable sources: Solar, wind, hydro, biomass, tidal, geothermal, nuclear fusion
- Non-renewable sources: Coal, petroleum, natural gas (fossil fuels)
- Renewable sources can be used indefinitely without exhaustion
