Heat and Temperature
Background Information
Heat
The heat of an object is the aggregate
energy of all molecular movement inside the
object. A form of energy that is transmitted from
one object or source to another due to the
differences in their temperature. It moves from a
hotter object to the cooler one. Its measurement
can be done in energy units, i.e., calorie or
joules. The transfer of heat can take place in
three ways, which are –
● Conduction: Heat transfer between molecules which are in direct contact with each
other, without the movement of particles.
● Convection: The transfer of heat that takes place due to the movement of particles
from one place to another is convection.
● Radiation: When the heat is transferred through a medium or vacuum, wherein
space in between, is not heated up.
Temperature
Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of all molecules together, i.e.
average energy of all the particles in an object. As an average measurement, the temperature of
a substance does not rely on its size (number of particles) and type. It identifies how hot or cold
an object is, in degrees. It also measures the speed of atoms and molecules of the substance. It
can be measured in various scales, which are – Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit. The
thermometer is used to gauge the temperature of the object.
