Latent Heat(OCR GCSE)
Latent heat is the 'hidden' energy transferred during a change of state — melting, freezing, boiling, or condensing — where temperature remains constant despite energy being continuously supplied or released. Mastering this topic means understanding precisely why temperature stays flat on a heating curve, applying the formula E = mL with correct unit conversions, and articulating the particle-level explanation that distinguishes potential energy from kinetic energy. OCR examiners consistently reward candidates who can move fluently between quantitative calculation and qualitative…
