Heating Curve — Temperature vs Time

Figure 1: Heating curve for water. Flat sections show where latent heat is absorbed at constant temperature.

KEY INSIGHT: During state changes, temperature stays constant because energy goes into breaking bonds (latent heat), not increasing particle speed.

This diagram covers Heating Curve — Temperature vs Time within Specific Latent Heat for GCSE Physics. Revise Specific Latent Heat in Particle Model for GCSE Physics with 13 exam-style questions and 30 flashcards. This is a high-frequency topic, so it is worth revising until the explanation feels precise and repeatable. It is section 3 of 12 in this topic. Focus on the labels, the relationships between parts, and the explanation that turns the diagram into an exam-ready answer.
