How is temperature related to heat ?

Open in App
Solution

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object.

Heat transfer rate directly proportional to temperature difference.
