Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Hot or cold? Temperature gives the number.
Temperature is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It tells you which way heat will flow — always from a hotter body to a colder one.
↳ Temperature quantifies hotness or coldness and decides the direction of heat flow.
One line that defines hot and cold.
↳ Temperature is the measurable quantity; the thermometer is the tool that reads it.
Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin — three ways to say hot.
↳ The same temperature can be written in different scales — Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.
Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold a body is, and it is measured using instruments called thermometers. This topic covers the concept of temperature, common temperature scales, and the correct methods for measur…

16 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
Temperature is best defined as a measure of the:
BeginnerAverage kinetic energy of the particles of a body
Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles, not the total heat energy. Heat energy also depends on mass and material.
Which of the following is the SI unit of heat?
BeginnerJoule
Heat is energy transferred due to a temperature difference, and its SI unit is the joule (J). Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit are temperature scales.
The ice point on the Fahrenheit scale is:
Beginner$32\,^\circ\text{F}$
The ice point is $0\,^\circ\text{C} = 32\,^\circ\text{F} = 273.15\,\text{K}$. The steam point is $212\,^\circ\text{F}$.
A clinical thermometer has a kink. What is the purpose of this kink?
BeginnerTo prevent mercury from flowing back into the bulb
The kink (constriction) stops mercury from returning to the bulb, so the reading is held until the thermometer is shaken down.
