I love this app so much, I also use it daily. I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a D to an A with it :D

Philip, iOS User

The app is very simple and well designed. So far I have always found everything I was looking for :D

Lena, iOS user

I love this app ❤️ I actually use it every time I study.

Energy and Electricity in Physics

This page covers fundamental concepts in energy, electricity, and related practical experiments for GCSE Physics. It includes information on energy stores, transfer methods, and key laws such as Hooke's Law.

Energy Stores and Transfers

Highlight: Energy is always conserved - it cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred between different stores.

The document lists various energy stores, including:

  • Kinetic
  • Gravitational potential
  • Electric potential/electromagnetic
  • Nuclear
  • Thermal
  • Elastic potential
  • Vibrational
  • Chemical potential

Example: When an object drops, gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Work Done and Power

Work done is defined as energy transferred by a force. The formula for work done is:

Definition: Work Done EnergyTransferredEnergy Transferred = Force × Distance E=FdE = Fd

Power is the rate of energy transfer, measured in watts WW:

Definition: Power = Energy / Time P=E/tP = E/t

Practical Experiments

Density Practical

The document outlines methods for measuring density:

  • For regular objects: Measure edges and calculate volume
  • For irregular objects: Use displacement method with water

Hooke's Law Springs Practical Experiment

Highlight: Hooke's Law states that F = ke, where F is force, k is spring constant, and e is extension.

Steps for the Hooke's Law experiment:

  1. Set up the spring and ruler
  2. Add masses and measure extension
  3. Repeat up to 1000g
  4. Draw a graph of results

Vocabulary: Independent variable: Force, Dependent variable: Extension

Energy Transfer in Solutions

A method for measuring dissolved solutes is described, using the principle that 100cm³ of water = 100g.

Pressure and States of Matter

The document covers pressure in gases, liquids, and hydraulic systems. It also describes the characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases in terms of particle behavior.

Energy Sources and Efficiency

Definition: Efficiency = UsefulOutputEnergy/TotalInputEnergyUseful Output Energy / Total Input Energy × 100

The text lists renewable and non-renewable energy sources and explains the concept of efficiency in energy transfers.

This comprehensive page provides essential information for students studying GCSE Physics electricity and energy transfer, offering clear explanations and practical experiment guidance.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Best app on earth! no words because it’s too good

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
