Thermal equilibrium between two object exist when

  • A. the temperature of both objects are equal
  • B. the quantity of heat of both objects is the same
  • C. the heat capacities of both objects are the same
  • D. one object losses heat continuously to the other

Correct Answer: A. the temperature of both objects are equal

Explanation

Two thermal objects are said to be in a thermal equilibrium when the temperature of both objects are equal. Generally, heat flows from an object at a higher temperature to the one at a lower temperature until both temperature are the same, during which the two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium
