Thermal Conduction Problems (Level: APB)

This podcast introduces the formula for calculating rate of heat transfer through conduction, with an example problem to help demonstrate how the formula is used.


Heat as Energy Transfer (Level: APB)

This podcast explains the definition of heat, and how it differs from internal energy. It also explains conduction, convection, and radiation as the three methods of heat transfer.


Thermal Expansion (Level: APB)

This podcast discusses calculations for the linear and volume expansion of objects when heated.



SHM & Uniform Circular Motion (Level: APC)

This podcast deals with the similarities between simple harmonic motion and uniform circular motion. Problem-solving is discussed, using functions for position, velocity, and acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator.
