What to Focus On

  • Heat is a form of energy.
  • Heat flows from hot body to cold body.
  • SI unit of heat is joule.

  • Temperature tells hotness or coldness.
  • Temperature decides direction of heat flow.
  • SI unit of temperature is kelvin.

  • Heat is energy.
  • Temperature is a measure of hotness or coldness.
  • Heat depends on mass and material.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and temperature are the same thing.

Heat always flows from a body with more heat to a body with less heat.

1 joule is equal to 1 calorie.

Memory Tips

Heat as internal energy that flows from hot body to cold body

Temperature as the measure that tells thermal state and direction of heat flow
