7.3.2.P1
We have learned two equations that relate the concepts of heat (transfer of thermal energy), Q, and temperature (density of thermal energy), T. They are:
- The equation for the heat capacity of an object:
- The equation for the change in entropy of an object:
These look similar. They both have Q's and T's, but the Deltas are in different places!
Describe carefully what situation each equation describes, what each symbol means, and what you think are the similarities and differences between them.
