Question

How are heat and temperature related?

Answer 1

1. Heat and temperature are two correlated concepts, having different physical meanings.
2. The Temperature of a system is the measure of the average translational kinetic energy of the constituents of the system.
3. Temperature can be measured in kelvin ($K$), degree celcius (°$C$), and degree fahrenheit (°$F$).
4. SI unit of temperature is kelvin ($K$).
5. Heat is a form of energy.
6. Heat is thermal energy in transit, as two bodies of different temperatures come in contact with one another heat as a form of energy gets transferred from the body from higher temperature to lower temperature.
7. The heat will always flow from a hotter body to a colder body or from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.
8. SI unit of heat is joule ($J$).
