Thermal Equilibrium

Definition of heat equilibrium

Net heat moves from hotter objects to cooler objects

Condition when net heat equal to zero

The heat reach thermal equilibrium

Conditions where same rate of heat flow & same temperature

Thermal equilibrium

Method to increase the sensitivity of a thermometer

Reduce the thickness of the glass tube

Characteristic of mercury

Expands and contracts uniformly

Advantage of using mercury to make a thermometer

High boiling point and freezing point of mercury

Mercury characteristic that is suitable for making a thermometer

Opaque

Condition of thermal equilibrium

Net heat is zero

A method that causes a higher rate of environment heat absorption

Reduce the thickness of the thermometer bulb

The equation to calculate for non-calibrated thermometer
