Measurement and Effects of Heat
Heat is a form of energy that flows from hotter to colder objects, and understanding its measurement and effects explains many everyday phen
Core concept
Temperature, measured using a thermometer in Celsius or Fahrenheit, indicates how hot or cold an object is, different from heat itself.
How it works
Heat causes expansion in most materials when heated and contraction when cooled, a property utilised in thermometers and other devices.
Why it matters
Heat transfers through conduction (direct contact), convection (fluid movement), and radiation (electromagnetic waves), each with different mechanisms.
Key detail
Understanding heat's effects helps explain phenomena like why metal rails have gaps, or why hot air balloons rise using convection.
