Question

The flow of heat energy from one body to another body is determined.

Options

• The amount of heat contained in the bodies

• The temperature difference between the bodies

• The mass of the bodies

• None of these

Answer 1

The temperature difference between the bodies

Explanation:

Heat always flows from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature. So the direction and flow of heat are determined by the temperature difference between the bodies, not by the amount of heat contained in them or by their masses.
