Introduction

Definition of Heat:

Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a

temperature difference.
 It flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object.

 Definition of Temperature:

 Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the

particles in a substance.

It determines how hot or cold an object is.

 Difference between Heat and Temperature:

 Heat is the energy transfer, while temperature is the measure of

hotness or coldness.

Heat depends on the mass, specific heat, and temperature

difference, while temperature is independent of these factors.

Scales of Temperature:

Fahrenheit scale: Commonly used in the United States, with the

freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F.

Celsius scale: Widely used in most countries, with the freezing

point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C.
 Kelvin scale: Used in scientific applications, with 0 K
representing absolute zero, the point at which all molecular
motion ceases.
