Question
Chapter 21, Problem 5A
To determine
To Explain: The direction in which heat flows.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Energy contained by matter is called thermal energy. This energy arises due to the vibrations of molecules of the matter. It is responsible for the temperature of the matter.
When thermal energy transfers from one body to another, it is called heat. Heat always flows from a body which has higher temperature to the one which lower temperature as compared to the former.
