Read the following paragraph and answer the questions: If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing gue to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses haet energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only ), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. Heat transferred from where to where?
