Formulas and Key Relations

Heat and Temperature

Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature

Q = msΔθ

Thermometers and Temperature Scales

C/100 = (F - 32)/180 = (K - 273)/100

Thermal Expansion

ΔL = αL0Δt

α = ΔL/(L0Δt)

γ = ΔV/(VΔt)

Key relations

The relation among the three scales is (C)/(100) = (F-32)/(180) = (K-273)/(100).
