 Form of energy flows from hot body to cold body is Heat. When a body is heated changes may occur in some of its properties called Effects of heat.

 Heat

Form of energy flows from hotter to colder body

S.I unit of heat is joule and common unit is calorie

1 cal= 4.18 J

1 calorie is the amount of heat needed to rise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade. 

When a body is heated  , it's temperature increases. 

Effects of heat -

1. Change in temperature 

2. Change in state

3. Change in shape/ size

Mode of transfer of heat

1. Conduction

2. Convection

2. Radiation


Effects of heat

When a body is heated , it brings about some changes in its properties called Effects of heat

When  heat is imparted to  ice its   Temperature will increase. At 0 degree centigrade, state will change ice melts . Water now at 0 degree centigrade, further heating will rise the temperature of water. At 100 degree centigrade change of state takes place from water to water vapour. 

Effects are-1. Change in temperature 

                       2. Change in State 

                      3. Change in shape/size

Factors affecting Change in temperature-

         1. Heat imparted

         2. Mass of the body 

         3. Nature of the material of the body

Change of state takes place when heat is either imparted or taken away from the body at particular temperature. 

1. Solid to liquid - Melting

2. Liquid to Solid - Freezing 

3. Liquid to Gas - Vaporization 

4. Gas to Liquid- Condensation

5. Solid  to  Gas -  Sublimation 

6. Gas to Solid - deposition


Change in shape/ size of a body may occur due to heat . Body expands on heating.

Thermal Expansion- Expansion in a body on heating. 



Change of state

Heat can change state of matter.

Important terms associated 

  1. Melting / Boiling/ Evaporation

2. Boiling point/ Melting point/

3. Latent heat of Fusion

4. Latent heat of vapiourisation 

Melting / Boiling/ Evaporation/ Condensation:-

When a solid is heated it changes into liquid at a fixed temperature this process is called melting.

When  the liquid freezes into solid at a particular temperature called freezing or fusion .

When a liquid is heated it change it into vapour at a fixed temperature this process is called boiling or vaporization .

When the vapour condenses into liquid at the fixed temperature the process is called condensation

Boiling point/ Melting point

The constant temperature at which a solid melts is called its melting point and the constant temperature is at which a liquid  boils is called boiling point. Melting point and Boiling point a characteristic properties of the matter

Latent heat of Fusion

The latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat gained by a solid object to convert into liquid form without the change in the temperature.

Latent heat of vapiourisation 

The latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat gained by a liquid tto convert into gas form without the change in the temperature.


Thermal Expansion 

  Expansion of a substance on heating is called the Thermal Expansion. 

Types- 1. Linear Expansion ( increase in length on heating)

                2. Superficial Expansion ( increase in  area on heating)

               3. Cubical Expansion ( increase in volume on heating)


Liquids expand more than solids and Gases expand more than Liquids. 

Expansivity of a substance is constant. 

Expansivity of different substances  are diferent. 

Due to differences in Expansivity of metals, a bimetallic strip bend on heating. This property of bimetallic strips is used in thermostats


Thermostat is a device used to control temperature by making and breaking the circuit, .used in electric iron , oven , refrigerator etc.

Invar , an alloy of iron and nickel  has negligible coefficient of expansion so  used in  pendulum clock.
