During the video, students will:
Consider whether or not a metal bar is at thermal equilibrium with the air in the room.
Consider whether or not the same metal bar, now placed on a heater for a long time, is at thermal equilibrium with the room.
Apply the concepts of thermal equilibrium and steady state to specify conditions for which the handle of a pan, which has been heated on a stove for a long time, is too hot to hold or cool to the touch.
Analyze whether the pan on the stove and its handle are at equilibrium, steady state or both for four different cases.
