Energy Changes in Systems is a fundamental topic in GCSE AQA Physics that explores thermal energy calculations and specific heat capacity experiments.
• The concept focuses on calculating energy changes in systems through temperature variations
• Specific heat capacity is a crucial measurement showing energy needed to change 1kg of material by 1°C
• The metal block experiment demonstrates practical application of specific heat capacity calculations
• Understanding includes both theoretical calculations and hands-on experimental procedures
• Key formula E = mcΔθ is essential for energy changes in systems gcse physics
