For: Edexcel GCSE 1PH0
On the specification
| Board | Spec | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.22 | Recall that, when there is an electric current in a resistor, there is an energy transfer which heats the resistor |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.23 | Explain that electrical energy is dissipated as thermal energy in the surroundings when an electrical current does work against electrical resistance |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.24 | Explain the energy transfer (in 10.22 above) as the result of collisions between electrons and the ions in the lattice |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.26 | Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the heating effect of an electric current |
For teachers
This GCSE Physics lesson teaches the heating effect of a current. It suits Foundation and Higher tier students.
