Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What does the temperature of a substance measure?

  1. The average kinetic energy of its particles
  2. The total energy of all its particles combined
  3. The number of particles present
  4. The mass of the substance
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AThe average kinetic energy of its particles
Temperature is an average, which is why a small hot object can hold less energy than a large warm one.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the internal energy of a substance?

  1. The kinetic energy of the object as a whole
  2. Its temperature in degrees Celsius
  3. The energy needed to melt it
  4. The total kinetic and potential energy of all its particles
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DThe total kinetic and potential energy of all its particles
It is a total rather than an average, which is what distinguishes it from temperature.

AQA GCSE Physics: Internal energy and specific heat capacity FAQ

Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Internal energy and specific heat capacity practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Internal energy and specific heat capacity questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Internal energy and specific heat capacity typically tested on AQA GCSE Physics papers?
Internal energy and specific heat capacity appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
