The zeroth law of thermodynamics

Thermal equilibrium state in which no changes take place


b w two closed systems in contact w each other

By definition two systems in thermal equilibrium have


the same temperature
Let AB systems in thermal eguil
B C I

Aand C are also in thermal eguil


Experimentally
zeroth law ofthermodynamics
