Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is a conductor?

  1. A material that allows heat to pass through it easily
  2. A material that blocks heat
  3. A material that reflects heat
  4. A material that absorbs all heat
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AA material that allows heat to pass through it easily
A thermal conductor allows heat energy to pass through it easily. Metals are good conductors. Insulators (wood, plastic, air) are poor conductors.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which surface is the best emitter of infrared radiation?

  1. Shiny silver
  2. White and smooth
  3. Dark and matt (rough)
  4. Transparent
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CDark and matt (rough)
Dark, matt surfaces are the best emitters AND absorbers of infrared radiation. Shiny, light surfaces are the best reflectors and worst emitters.

CIE IGCSE Physics: Transfer of Thermal Energy FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Physics questions on Transfer of Thermal Energy are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 12 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Transfer of Thermal Energy for CIE IGCSE Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE 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 Transfer of Thermal Energy practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE 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 Transfer of Thermal Energy questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE 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 CIE.
How is Transfer of Thermal Energy typically tested on CIE IGCSE Physics papers?
Transfer of Thermal Energy appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE 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.
