Relation between temperature and thermal energy of an object.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Temperature is defined as the measurement of coldness or hotness of a body. It helps to indicate the direction of heat flow from a warmer body (higher temperature) to a cooler body (low temperature)
Thermal energy is also termed as heat. It is produced due to an increase in temperature that will cause molecules and atoms to move faster and thus hits each other. So, basically, the heat that is caused due to a change in temperature of any heated substance is known as thermal energy.
When any substance is heated up, its temperature rises. Heat and temperature are associated with one another but are different concepts.
The total energy released during a molecular motion of a substance is termed as heat, while the temperature is the measure of that energy. Thermal energy or heat depends upon the particle’s speed, amount of particle and their dimensions, but the temperature of a substance does not depend on the dimensions.
