Heat Transfer

The topic briefly explains heat and temperature along with their units. It describes heat capacity and the factors affecting the heat absorbed or heat released. We will also study the instruments used to measure temperature.

In this topic, we will learn about heat capacity and specific heat capacity and their units. It also describes some natural phenomena caused due to high specific heat capacity.

In this topic, we will learn technique of measurement of energy changes associated with chemical and physical processes called calorimetry. It explains the technique with the help of experiments and diagrams.

This topic discusses the three main effects of heat, which are change in temperature of the body, change in size or shape of the body, and change in the state of the body. This concept is explained with the aid of examples and diagrams.

This topic provides knowledge of the instruments used to measure temperature. It explains the difference between clinical and laboratory thermometers. We will also learn the effects of temperature on molecular motion.

This topic defines conductors as substances that allow heat to pass through easily. It highlights some examples of conductors and insulators such as silver, copper, wood and iron. It also includes activities based on the concept.

In this topic, we will study about thermal expansion in solids in detail. It explains the conditions and requirements of thermal expansions in solids. It also illustrates the examples of solids in which thermal expansions occured.

In this topic, we will study the process of heat transfer from one system to another. It also explains the convection, conduction and radiation along with some thermal conductivities of some materials with the help of illustrations and graphs.
