IBDP Physics (2025): B.1 Thermal energy transfers

This guide is for the DP Physics syllabus with first assessments in 2025

B.1 Thermal energy transfers

Demos and simulations

1. Does the temperature change during melting? Why/why not?

2. Does the temperature change during boiling? Why/why not?

3. Compare the time it takes to melt all the ice (at T=0°C) compared to time it takes to boil it off (at T=100°C). Which one should take longer? Why? Is the simulation accurate in this sense?
