Answer to Problem 1CQ

Heat (Q) is the amount ofenergythat is transferred from an area at high temperature to an area at a low temperature.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The capacity to do work is defined as energy. Energy can be defined as the quantitative property which defines the capacity to do work. Energy can be associated with any form such as heat, light, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, etc.

Heat is the form of energy which is transferred due to temperature difference. The heat energy is transferred from a high temperature region to a low-temperature region. Heat energy is generated due to the kinetic action of the atoms. The kinetic motion of atoms consists of collision or interaction with each other resulting in the release of energy.

Conclusion:

Thus, the complete statement is, “Heat (Q) is the amount ofenergythat is transferred from an area at high temperature to an area at low temperature.”
