What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. It is the total kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects in contact with each other reach the same temperature and no heat flows between them.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not conduct heat well, preventing the transfer of thermal energy.
