Definition: the transfer Definition: the transfer of energy (thermal) of energy (thermal) between objects that between objects that are at different are at different temperatures.temperatures.
Energy is always Energy is always transferred from the transferred from the object with the higher object with the higher temperature to the temperature to the object with the lowest object with the lowest temperaturetemperature
Thermal EquilibriumThermal Equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium is the point at Thermal equilibrium is the point at which two objects reach the same which two objects reach the same temperature. temperature.
ConductionConduction The transfer of The transfer of
thermal energy thermal energy from one from one substance to substance to another through another through direct contactdirect contact
Conductors – Conductors – conduct thermal conduct thermal energy very wellenergy very well
Insulators – do not Insulators – do not conduct thermal conduct thermal energy very wellenergy very well
ConvectionConvection
Transfer of thermal Transfer of thermal energy by the energy by the movement of a movement of a liquid or a gasliquid or a gas
Circular motion is Circular motion is due to density due to density differences – these differences – these are called are called convection convection currentscurrents

Measuring TemperatureMeasuring Temperature
Thermometers measure Thermometers measure temperature by temperature by thermal expansion thermal expansion – – the increase in volume due to an the increase in volume due to an increase in temperatureincrease in temperature
