Class 11Physics10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and CalorimetryTemperature and Temperature scales
EasyWrite the meaning of temperature.
(N/A) Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.
It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
When two bodies are in thermal contact,heat flows from the body at a higher temperature to the body at a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.
The $SI$ unit of temperature is Kelvin $(K)$.

View SolutionThe electrical resistance in ohms of a certain thermometer varies with temperature according to the approximate law:
$R = R_{0} [1 + \alpha (T - T_{0})]$
The resistance is $101.6 \; \Omega$ at the triple-point of water $(273.16 \; K)$,and $165.5 \; \Omega$ at the normal melting point of lead $(600.5 \; K)$. What is the temperature (in $K$) when the resistance is $123.4 \; \Omega$?
