Card 1Heat and temperature

State the definition of heat.

Answer

Heat is the internal energy of molecules constituting the body. It flows from a hot body to a cold body.

Card 2Heat and temperature

State the definition of temperature.

Answer

Temperature is a quantity which tells the thermal state of a body, that is, the degree of hotness or coldness of the body. It determines the direction of flow of heat when two bodies at different temp

Card 3Heat and temperature

What is the SI unit of heat?

Answer

The SI unit of heat is joule (J). Heat is a form of energy, so it uses the same SI unit as energy.

Card 4Heat and temperature

What is the relation between calorie and joule?

Answer

1 cal = 4.186 J (or nearly 4.2 J). This means calorie can be converted into joule by multiplying by 4.186.

Card 5Heat and temperature

Convert 2 cal into joule.

Answer

Given: 1 cal = 4.186 J Formula: Energy in J = calories × 4.186 Step 1: 2 cal × 4.186 J/cal = 8.372 J Answer: 8.372 J

Card 6Heat and temperature

Convert 500 cal into joule.

Answer

Given: 1 cal = 4.186 J Formula: Energy in J = calories × 4.186 Step 1: 500 cal × 4.186 J/cal = 2093 J Answer: 2093 J

Card 7Heat and temperature

State the relation between joule and erg.

Answer

1 J = 10^7 erg. This is the CGS relation for energy.

Card 8Heat and temperature

How are Celsius and Kelvin temperatures related?

Answer

T K = 273 + t °C Here, T is temperature in kelvin and t is temperature in degree celsius. Example: 25°C = 298 K.
