Heat is a form of energy . Explain with an example.
Answers
All matter contains heat energy. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. The transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects is called heat.
Here are some examples of heat energy.
1-The biggest example of heat energy in our solar system is the sun itself. The sun radiates heat to warm us up on the planet earth.
2-When the burner of a stove top is very hot, it is a source of heat energy. Anything placed onto the stove top and warmed, whether a pot of tea or a skillet for frying eggs, also become sources of heat energy.
3-Automobile fuels such as gasoline are sources of heat energy, as is the hot engine of a race car or a school bus.

Heat is not really a form of energy. Heat is the transfer of energy due to a difference in temperature. The energy moves from the object with the higher temperature to the object with the lower temperature. It doesn't disappear.
