Question

During heat transfer, thermal energy always moves in the same direction: A. COLDHOT B. HOT COLD C. No movement D. HOTHOT

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is defined as the energy present within the molecules of a substance.

Also, when two objects that have different temperature and they are in contact with each other then heat will always flow from hot object to cold object.

For example, if a metal spoon is placed in a hot cup of coffee then heat will flow from hot coffee to the metal spoon.

Therefore, we can conclude that during heat transfer, thermal energy always moves in the same direction: HOT COLD.
