Specific latent heat: E = mL

Video coming soon

The key ideas and the summary sheet for this lesson are ready now.

Key ideas

  1. Latent heat changes the state, not the temperature.

  2. Specific latent heat: the energy to change the state of 1 kg.

  3. E = m L, for fusion or vaporisation.

  4. Heating graph: slopes mean c, flat parts mean L.
