Question

Two solid blocks are HEATED to the temperatures show. The blocks are placed so they touch. Which diagram shows the DIRECTION HEAT WILL FLOW?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature

Explanation:

The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.

• Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
• As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
• Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
• When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.
