Question
Differentiate between heat and temperature.
Solution
| Heat | Temperature |
| The kinetic energy due to random motion of the molecules of a substance is known as its heat energy. | The quantity which determines the direction of flow of heat between two bodies kept in contact is called temperature. |
| S.I. unit joule (J). | S.I. unit kelvin (K). |
| It is measured by the principle of calorimetry. | It is measured by a thermometer. |
