Thermal energy refers to the energy associated with heat. It is the form of energy transferred from one object to another due to the temperature difference between them.
For example, when we heat water in a pot, caloric energy is transferred from the fire to the pot and then to the water, raising its temperature.
This energy is used in various applications such as heating, cooking food, and generating steam to move turbines in power plants. Caloric energy is an important form of energy that enables us to perform many activities in our daily lives.
