A Level Physics 9702 · 16 ThermodynamicsInternal energy as the sum of the random kinetic and potential energies of the molecules, with an ideal gas whose U follows temperature alone whatever the pressure and a block of ice whose U rises by 334 kJ while its temperature does not move, the first law on a loaded piston for constant pressure, constant volume, constant temperature and adiabatic changes with q, W and ΔU as a live ledger and the work as the area on the p-V diagram in either sign convention, boiling and melting through the first law, and a closed cycle whose net work is the enclosed area.

Thermodynamics is a free, browser-based simulation for Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics 9702 (topic 16 Thermodynamics). The course is assessed in Paper 1 (multiple choice), Paper 2 (AS structured), Paper 3 (advanced practical), Paper 4 (A Level structured) and Paper 5 (planning, analysis and evaluation). There are 4 tabs, each a self-contained experiment with its own controls and live readings, and nothing to install: it runs on a laptop, tablet or classroom projector.
