Explain, using particles, why a liquid expands when it is heated.
State the name of the method of thermal energy transfer that carries energy to the water touching the heater.
Explain how thermal energy is transferred through all of the water in the kettle.
State the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure. Give the unit in your answer.
The kettle contains $2.5\,\text{kg}$ of water at standard atmospheric pressure. The specific heat capacity of water is $4200\,\text{J (kg ^{\circ}C)}^{-1}$. Once the water reaches boiling temperature, the kettle switches off. Calculate the increase in the internal energy of the water.
