Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The most critical temperature conversion for the AFOQT is Kelvin = Celsius + 273.
- How to rearrange the specific heat formula (Q=mcΔT) to solve for any variable, especially specific heat capacity 'c'.
- To differentiate the three heat transfer modes: conduction (direct contact), convection (fluid motion), and radiation (electromagnetic waves).
- That an object's temperature remains constant during a phase change, such as melting or boiling.
- To identify common exam traps like unit conversions (e.g., grams to kilograms) and interpreting the plateaus on heating curve graphs.
