∆Q = 100 J
m = 10 g 
∆T = 2 °C

• 20 
• 5
• 25
• 200

Two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium if

• rates of heat transfer between them are equal

• rates of heat transfer between them are not equal

• no heat flow between them

• maximum heat flow between them

The two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium if

• no heat and equal temperature

• small net flow of heat and low temperature

• no net flow of heat and equal temperature

• maximum flow of heat and maximum temperature
