What to Focus On

  • Thermal energy is also called heat.
  • Temperature tells the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.
  • Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.

  • Clinical thermometer measures human body temperature.
  • Laboratory thermometer is used in experiments.
  • Maximum-minimum thermometer is used by meteorologists.

  • Heating can raise temperature.
  • During change of state, temperature may remain constant.
  • Melting point is the temperature of solid to liquid change.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and temperature are the same thing.

Temperature can be measured in joule and thermal energy can be measured in kelvin.

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

Memory Tips

Heat and temperature are different

Heat flows from hot to cold

Mechanical equivalent of heat

Work changes into heat through friction
