HEAT AND THERMAL
ENERGY
Heat may be defined as energy in transit
from a high-temperature object to a lower
temperature object.
An object does not possess "heat"; the
appropriate term for the microscopic
HEAT Q=C ∆T
CAPACITY When heat is transferred to an object, the
temperature of the object increases. When heat is
removed from an object, the temperature of the
object decreases. The proportionality constant in
this equation is called the heat capacity (C).
the specific heat c of a substance
is the heat capacity per unit mass.

The heat that deals in the
formula, Q = mC∆T, is what
we called Sensible Heat. It
SENSIBLE is the heat wherein there
are change in temperature
HEAT but constant phase - solid
to solid, liquid to liquid , or
gas to gas.
It is the heat that occurs when there is a constant
temperature but there is a change in phase.
