| What is Maxwell's first stipulation for the definition of heat? | It is something which may be transferred from one body to another, according to the second law of thermodynamics. |
| What is Maxwell's second stipulation for the definition of heat? | It is a measurable quantity, and thus treated mathematically. |
| What is Maxwell's third stipulation for the definition of heat? | It cannot be treated as a substance, because it may be transformed into something that is not a substance, e.g., mechanical work. |
| What is Maxwell's fourth stipulation for the definition of heat? | Heat is one of the forms of energy |
| What is latent heat? | Latent energy is the energy possessed via a distancing of particles where attraction was over a greater distance, i.e. a form of potential energy |
| What is sensible heat? | Sensible heat as an energy involving the motion of particles or what was known as a living force. |
