The kinetic theory explains the behavior of gases by assuming they consist of tiny particles in constant random motion. These particles collide elastically with each other and the container walls, creating pressure. The theory relates macroscopic properties like temperature and pressure to microscopic particle motion, governed by their kinetic energy.
Class 11 Physics Chapter 11 Thermodynamics explains the principles of heat and its transformation into work or other forms of energy. It covers concepts like the first and second laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, specific heat capacities of gases and the Carnot cycle. These topics are crucial for understanding energy conservation and practical thermal systems.
