When are the two bodies in thermal equilibrium?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine when two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Thermal Equilibrium Thermal equilibrium occurs when two bodies reach the same temperature, meaning there is no net heat transfer between them. ### Step 2: Apply the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics According to the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, if two bodies (let's call them Body 1 and Body 2) are in thermal contact and no heat is transferred between them, they are in thermal equilibrium. ...
