The heat gives off subtle infrared rays which produce thermal energy to heat the floor.
In 1901 the Copley medal of the Royal Society of London was awarded him as being "the first to apply the second law of thermodynamics to the exhaustive discussion of the relation between chemical, electrical and thermal energy and capacity for external work."
In the space of only a few nanoseconds, a great deal of magnetic energy is converted into the thermal energy of the plasma.
At low temperatures, there is not enough thermal energy available to allow torsion angle changes, so the conformation becomes frozen in.
Hence a part of what must be included in thermal energy is not simply proportional to temperature as is commonly assumed.
