QUESTION:
- How do you calculate thermal energy generated?
ANSWER:
Thermal energy is the energy generated from heat. This heat is produced by the movement of small particles within an object. The faster the particles move, the more the heat is generated. Thermal energy is responsible for the temperature of the system and a part of the total energy of the system which is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
The thermal energy is usually expressed by Q. It is directly proportional to the mass of the substance, temperature difference, and the specific heat.
The SI unit of thermal energy is Joules(J).

Where
- Q = thermal energy,
- m = mass of the given substance,
- c = specific heat,
- ΔT = temperature difference.
