Differentiate: Heat and Temperature

Question

Atith Adhikari · Accepted Answer

Following are the major differences between heat and temperature:HeatTemperatureHeat is the sum of kinetic energy of all the molecules contained in a body.Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a body.It is the total energy in flow between two bodies.It is the measure of how hot or cold an object is.It is a cause of temperature.It is an effect of heat.The SI unit of heat is Joule (J).The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K).It is a derived physical quantity.It is a fundamental physical quantity.
