Heat is a form of Energy
Energy is necessary one for a object to do work
Energy can't be created or destroyed but energy can be converted in to one form to another form
The forms of energy are
Heat energy
Electrical Energy
Mechanical Energy
Chemical energy
Electro megnetic wave energy
Unit of Energy is Jule and it's sympol is J
1 Jule = 1 kg m^2/s^2
1 Jule = 6.24 × 10^18 eV
1Jule = 1×10^7 erg
1 Jule = 2.39 × 10^-4 kcal
1 Jule = 2.78 ×10^-7 kW.h
1Jule = 1 N.m
Heat and work are inter convertable
There is a heat , work will be done
There is a work , heat will be generated
All heat engines are converting heat into work
Chemical reactions which taking place spontaneously are releasing heat energy , thus lead to the work and this is the basic concept for electro chemical cell.
