Physics Form 4 - Heat

Thermal Equilibrium - Keseimbangan Terma :

• Thermal equilibrium is when two objects that are at different temperatures balance each other out. The higher temperature object will transfer heat to the lower temperature object until they are at the same temperature level.

Relationship Between Temperature And Heat :

1. Temperature is a measure of the degree of hotness of the body.
2. A hot body has a high temperature whereas a cold body has a low temperature.
3. Heat is a form of energy being transferred from a hot body to a cold body.
4. The total amount of heat in a body depends on the mass, material and temperature of the body.
5. Heat and temperature are two different physical quantities.
