The Zorth Low of Thermodynamics led us to the concept of temperature that agree with our commonsense notion. Temperature is a maker of the 'hotness' of a body It determine the direction of flow of heat when two bodies are placed in thermal contact. Heat flow from the body at a hig…
In our daily life we come across various kinds of motions. You have already learnt about some of the e.g. rectilinear motion and motion of a projectile. Both these motions are non- repetitive. We have also about unform circular motion and orbital motion of planets in the solar system. I…
Convection is a mode of heat transfer by actual motion of a matter. It is possible only in fluids. Convection can be natural or forced. In natural convection, gravity plays an important part. When a fuild is heated from below, the hot part expands and, therefore, becames less dense. Bec…
In this article we shall study laws that govern thermal energy. We shall study the processes where work is converted into heat and vice versa. In winter, when we rub our palms together, we feel warmer; here work done in rubbing our palms together, we feel warmer; here work done in rubbing…
