Key term for Edexcel GCSE Physics, used in Work and Energy Transfers.
The state reached when two objects in thermal contact have the same temperature, meaning no net transfer of heat occurs.
Thermal equilibrium appears in Edexcel GCSE Physics revision content for Energy – forces doing work, especially Work and Energy Transfers and Ways of Changing Energy.
