⚠️ Common Exam Traps & Conceptual Pitfalls

Students often mistake heat for temperature and assume they share the same unit (°C or K). Remember that heat and work are energy transfers measured in joules (J), while temperature is a thermodynamic state variable measured in kelvin or degrees Celsius; mixing them leads to the wrong answer.

Which of the following pairs of physical quantities may be represented in the same unit?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Heat and temperature
  • B Temperature and mole
  • C Heat and work
  • D Specific heat and heat

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

**Answer:** (c) Heat and work. **Step-by-Step Explanation:** Heat and work are both forms of energy transfer and have the same units (Joule).
