 Heat
Type of energy,flows from Degree of hot ness or
hot object to cold object
Two objects are in thermal
contact when heat energy
can be transferred
between them
Temperature Thermal Equilibrium Thermometer
When there is no net heat Mercury is used
coldness of an object transfer between two Works on the principle of
objects, they are said to expanision and
be thermal equilibrium contraction of liquid
which mean the objects Why mercury is used?
have the same Expands and contracts
temperature uniformly
Opaque
Does not stick on the
wall
High boiling point
Sensitivity of
thermometer can be
improved by :
Decreasing diameter of
the capillary tube
Using glass bulb with
thinner wall
Using smaller size of
bulb
 Specific Heat
Capacity
Defined as the
quantity of heat
Depends on
energy transferred to
- Mass of substance
change the How tu use formula? - Amount of heat
temperatureof 1 kg of - Energy supplied by supplied
substance by 1 heater, Q = Pt
Celcius or 1 K - Assuption to be
made, no heat loss
to the surrounding

Object with higher specific heat

capacity
4200 J of heat energy - Takes longer time to be heated/
cooled
is required to raise the - Can absorb/released more heat
Object with lower specific heat
temperature of 1 kg of capacity
water by 1 Celcius - Takes shorter time to be heated/
cooled
- Can absorb/release less heat
 Specific latent heat

Specific latent heat of fusion Specific latent heat of vaporisation

Amount of heat required to change

Amount of heat required to melt 1
1 kg of liquid to gas at its boiling
kg of solid to liquid at its melting
point
point
 Gas Law
- Mass of gas is constant for all Laws
