Question

Ravi thought that heat and temperature are same concepts . What questions do you ask him to distinguish heat and temperature

Answer 1

Heat and temperature are often interconnected, but are completely different concepts. The reason why the concept of heat and temperature could be mixed up is due to how closely related they are in real life.

• For example, If we add heat to something, then its temperature will rise, and If we lower the temperature of something the heat is taken away its heat.

• Heat is the total energy of the movement of a substance 's molecules while the temperature is the measure of the average energy of the molecules' motions in the substance.

• The questions which can be asked to Ravi are -

1. How is heat and temperature measure ?

2. With an increase in heat does the temperature also heat ?

3. Do both of them have ability to do work ?

4. Are they dependent on object size ?
