Question

The zeroth law of thermodynamics leads to the concept of

• A. Carnot engine
• B. Work
• C. Temperature
• D. Heat
• E. Internal energy

Hint:

The zeroth law of thermodynamics is the foundation for the measurement of temperature and the concept of thermal equilibrium.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two bodies are each in thermal equilibrium with a third body, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law leads to the concept of temperature because it implies that temperature is a property that allows us to determine whether two objects are in thermal equilibrium. 
Hence, the correct answer is (C).
