Heat is the transfer of energy between objects or places due to temperature differences. Heat exists as energy in transit and is not contained within an object. Heat measures how energy moves or flows from warmer to cooler materials by three processes: conduction through direct contact, convection in fluids like air and water, and radiation of electromagnetic waves. Temperature is defined as a quantity indicating an object's hotness or coldness, and is measured by thermometers in degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.

or places because of difference in temperature. - Heat exist as “energy in transit” and it is not contained in an object. - Heat measures how energy moves or flows. heat Thermal Energy is energy that comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are moving or vibrating due to a rise in temperature. Heat is the energy that is transferred from a body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. Heat always flows from warmer to cooler materials. Sources of Heat Energy Temperature is defined as the quantity that indicates the hotness and coldness of a substance. Thus, if the average kinetic energy per molecule of a substance increases the temperature also increases. Temperature is measured in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin. A device that measures temperature is called thermometer.

Three ways on how heat is transferred Three ways on how heat is transferred 1. CONDUCTION When two objects are in contact with each other, heat transfers (at point of contact) directly from the object with higher temperature to the system with lower temperature. The process of heat transfer from one object to another when the two objects are in direct contact is known as conduction. 1. CONDUCTION When two objects are in contact with each other, heat transfers (at point of contact) directly from the object with higher temperature to the system with lower temperature. The process of heat transfer from one object to another when the two objects are in direct contact is known as conduction. 1. CONDUCTION Heat conduction occurs because of the collisions among the molecules within the system. The molecules of the system with a higher temperature move faster. As these fast-moving molecules collide with the slow – moving molecules of the system with a lower Slow-moving molecules temperature, some of the energy of the fast- moving molecules are transferred to the slow-moving molecules until the two systems reach the same Fast-moving temperature. molecules Heat conduction occurs because of the collisions among the molecules within the system.

CONDUCTION Materials made of metals are commonly used to cook food. This is because metal is a good conductor of heat. Some materials such as wood, paper, and plastic are poor conductors. The materials that do not allow heat to transfer are called insulators. Heat is transfer is from a warmer object to a cooler object or from higher temperature to a lower temperature.

CONvectioN Convection also occurs in the atmosphere which causes different weather conditions. Wind is due to convection in the atmosphere. The land breeze and the sea breeze during nighttime and daytime, respectively, are due to convection currents. The air above the sea being warmer, expands, rises up and convection currents of cold air flow from the land towards the sea, forming land breezes. In the evening, air above the land, being moreheated, expands, rises up and the colder air from above the sea surface blows towards the land to take its place. 2. CONvectioN 3. radiatioN Objects radiate electromagnetic energy (radiation made up of interacting electric field and magnetic field and travelling at the speed of light) unless the temperature is at absolute zero. A hot object radiates more electromagnetic energy. Radiation is caused by the movement of the molecules of an object. The faster the molecular movement, the more radiation is produced, and the more heat is transferred to other objects. Any material that is considered to be a good absorber of heat is also a good emitter of heat. In colors, black absorbs heat better than white. This means, you will feel hotter if you wear a black shirt on sunny day than when you wear a white one. electricity Electrical energy or electricity is a form of energy that comes from electrically charged bodies such as ions and electrons. It is the energy required to operate appliances, gadgets, and machines. Electricity results from electrical charges. You have learned earlier that an atom consists of charged particles. The electron, the atomic sub particle found outside the nucleus, is negatively charged. The movement of these electrons causes the formation of electricity. It was in the year 600 BC when the philosopher Thales of Miletus noted that when an amber is rubbed with wool, it would be able to attract other objects. Twenty- two centuries later, the court physician to Queen Elizabeth I named William Gilbert made observations on electric forces and found that many other materials besides amber have the property to attract light objects after being rubbed. He called those substances electric from the Greek word electron, meaning “amber”. This where the modern word electricity originated.
