What is heat?

Open in App
Solution

Heat may be defined as energy in transit from a high-temperature object to a lower temperature object.
The matter is made up of atoms and molecules (groupings of atoms) and energy causes the atoms and molecules to always be in motion - either bumping into each other or vibrating back and forth. The motion of atoms and molecules creates a form of energy called heat or thermal energy which is present in all matter.
