 What is Heat?
• The energy transferred from one object to
another because of a temperature difference
between them is termed heat.

• The unit of heat is Joule (J)

• Heat energy always moves from:

HOT object COOLER object

 What is temperature?
• Temperature is the amount of heat in the system
• The units for temperature are:
• Degree Celsius (°C)
• Kelvin (K)

Temperature conversions
between the temperature scales

kelvin degree Celsius conversions

kelvin = degree Celsius + 273.15

degree Celsius = kelvin - 273.15
