Introduction
Heat, energy that is transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature. If
two bodies at different temperatures are brought together, energy is transferred—i.e., heat flows—from the
hotter body to the colder.

This topic covers the concepts of energy, its transformations, transfer, and conservation by focusing on heat.
The concepts of heat, temperature, thermal energy, and the different methods through which heat is transferred
within a system are considered.
The topic also includes the change of state and the increase in temperature of a substance when heated from both
qualitative and quantitative ways.
