Questions and Answers
What is the definition of heat according to the notes?
Heat is a form of energy which is transferred from one body at a higher temperature to another at a lower temperature by virtue of their temperature difference.
How is pressure defined and what are its units?
Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The unit of pressure is N/m².
What happens when bodies A and B, initially at different temperatures, are brought into contact with each other?
Heat will be transferred from A to B until both attain the same temperature.

Study Notes
Heat
- Heat is energy transferred due to temperature differences between two bodies.
- Energy flows from a body with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.
Pressure
- Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area.
- The formula for calculating pressure is Pressure = Force / Area.
- The standard unit of pressure is Newton per square meter (N/m²).
- Pressure measurements are commonly taken using a device called a manometer.
Thermal Equilibrium
- A scenario where two bodies, one at 50°C and another at 20°C, demonstrate heat transfer from the warmer body to the cooler one.
- Heat transfer continues until both bodies reach the same temperature, resulting in no further heat flow.
- Thermal equilibrium is achieved when the temperatures of both bodies are equal, halting any additional heat transfer.
