Question 6 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

What occurs at thermal equilibrium?

Answer
A
Heat flows from the higher-temperature substance to the lower-temperature substance.
B
Heat flows from the lower-temperature substance to the higher-temperature substance.
C
Heat does not flow because both substances are at the same temperature.

Explanation

Thermal equilibrium occurs when two substances reach the same temperature. With no temperature difference between them, there is no net heat flow. Therefore, the correct choice is “Heat does not flow because both substances are at the same temperature.”
