Energy transfer between 2 objects takes place if
One object exerts a force on the other object and makes it move (one object does work on the other object)
One object is hotter than the other object so energy transfer by heating takes place by conduction convection or radiation (basically when energy is transferred by heating because of a temp difference between 2 objects)
Internal energy of an object is the energy of its molecules due to their
Individual movements and positions
The internal energy of and object due to its temp is sometimes called
However some of the internal energy of an object might be due to other causes eg
An iron bar that is magnetised has more …than if it is.. ,because of the magnetic interaction between the irons bars …
Thermal energy
Internal energy
Unmagnetised
Atoms
Internal energy of an object is increased because of
Energy transfer by heating the object
Or
Work done on the object
Eg work done by electricity
If the internal energy is an object stays constant then either
There’s so energy transfer by heating and no work is done
Or
Energy transfer by heating and work done balance each other out
Example of internal energy of object staying constant due to energy transfer by heating and work done balancing each other out:
Internal energy of a lamp filament increases when lamp is switched on because …
Because of this the filament becomes ..
When it reaches its operating temp,energy is …
Work done by electricity supply pushing electrons through filament is …by the energy transfer and light radiated from the …
Work is done by electricity supply pushing electrons through the filament
Hot
Transferred to the surroundings by heating and the filament radiates light
Balanced

First law of thermodynamics
( In general when work is done on it by an object and /or energy is transferred by heating)
, The change of internal energy of the object = the total energy transfer due to work done and heating
When the fort las of thermodynamics is applied to an object , the directions of the energy transfers (I.e to or from the object) are very important and determine whether
the overall internal energy of the object increases or decreases
Molecule is
The smallest particle of a pure substance that is characteristic of the substance
An atom is
The smallest particle of an element that is characteristic of the element
In a solid the atoms and molecules are held to each other by
Forces due to the electrical charges of the protons and electrons in the atoms
Higher temperature of solid means
More molecules vibrate
Molecules in a solid vibrate ..
Randomly about fixed positions
Energy supplied to raise temperature of solid increases the
Kinetic energy of the molecules
If temperature Of solid is raised high enough
This happens because
The energy supplied to melt a solid raises the
The solid melts
It’s molecules vibrate so much that they break free from each other and the substance loses its shape
Potential energy of the molecules because they break free from each other
