0625 Thermal Processes - P2 - MS

This document is a mark scheme for a physics test on heat transfer. It provides the answers, marks awarded, and assessment objectives for 12 multiple choice and short answer questions. The questions cover various topics around heat transfer including conduction, convection, expansion of liquids when heated, insulation, and phase changes. For each question, the mark scheme lists the correct answer, number of marks awarded, and any guidance notes. Most questions are worth 1 mark, with some worth 2 marks for more complex explanations. The mark scheme provides a concise and structured summary of the key information tested in the physics assessment.
