How Is The Total Energy Of A System Impacted When Energy At The Microscopic Level Changes? A system in equilibrium will never experience a Total change in energy if there is a local or microscopic change in energy in some ‘sub-portion’ of the system. This would require that the microscopic energy in some other sub-part

Is Temperature A Microscopic Or Macroscopic Concept?

Is Temperature A Microscopic Or Macroscopic Concept? Temperature is a macroscopic parameter that is a measure of the average KE of the molecules in a system. Heat flows from the hot system (lowering its internal energy and temperature) to a cold system (raising its internal energy and temperature). Is temperature a macroscopic concept? Temperature :
