Understanding Temperature and Thermometers

This document discusses temperature and heat. It defines temperature as the amount of heat in a body or system, and notes that a thermometer is used to measure temperature. Heat is defined as thermal energy transferred from a warmer to a colder body or system until thermal equilibrium is reached when both systems have the same temperature. Thermometers work based on a thermometric property, such as the expansion of liquid in a liquid-in-glass thermometer, that varies with temperature. Different types of thermometers, including resistance, gas, and thermocouple thermometers, are also introduced along with their respective thermometric substances and properties.

TEMPERATURE

Temperature and Heat


Temperature :- It is the amount of heat in a body or
system .
* The instrument which measures temperature is the
Thermometer.
Heat:- It is thermal energy transferred from a warmer
body or system, to a colder one. So, one system
releases heat and the other one absorbs it.
* This thermal transfer will stop when both systems
have the same temperature( thermal equilibrium).

• Q1- Heat FLOWS……… this sentence .
Ans :- Heat refer to thermal energy while
temperature is the degree of hotness. Its
means heat will flow from a hotter region to a
colder region.
Thermometer
• Thermometer property :- It is a property which varies according to change
of temperature .
• Every thermometer is designed on the bases of thermometric property.
• E.g. of thermometers –
1- Liquid – in – glass thermometer
Alcohol – liquid or mercury – liquid
* Thermometric substance is alcohol or mercury .
* Thermometric property :- expansion of liquid (change of volume) with an
increase of temperature.
2- Resistance thermometer ( resistance is term of electricity )
* Thermometric substances : metallic wire
* Thermometric property :- Change of resistance with the change of
temperature .
3- Constant volume gas thermometer .
* Thermometric substances : gas
* Thermometric : change of pressure with a change of temperature.
4- Thermocouple thermometer
* Thermometric substances : two different
metallic wires.
* Thermometric property :- Change of
voltage(electrical) with a change of
temperature .
Two types of scale – (i) Celsius scale(C )
(ii) Kelvin scale (K)
SI Unit of temperature is KELVIN
