Thermal Equilibrium Explained
Heat transfer occurs through conduction, where faster-moving molecules in a hot object collide with slower-moving molecules in a cooler one, leading to thermal equilibrium. The rate of conduction is influenced by the temperature difference and the area of contact between surfaces. As an object's mass increases, its surface area to volume ratio decreases, affecting its ability to conduct heat effectively.In this clip
