Question

State whether the following statement is true or false

Heat energy always flows from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Heat is a form of energy.
2. Whenever there is a difference in temperature between two bodies, there will be a heat flow.
3. The heat will flow from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.
4. The objects will exchange heat energy until equilibrium is reached.
5. Therefore, the heat energy always flows from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature.

Hence, this statement is true.
