In thermodynamics, zeroth law is related to:
Correct answer: C. Thermal equilibrium
- A. Work
- B. Energy
- C. Thermal equilibrium
- D. Entropy
Explanation
The zeroth law of thermodynamics is related to thermal equilibrium. This law establishes the concept of temperature and allows us to define a temperature scale. The law states that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
