The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
"Two systems in thermal equilibrium with a third system separately are in thermal equilibrium with each other."
1 Initial Setup
Systems A and B are separated by an adiabatic wall, while each is in contact with system C via conducting walls.
2 Thermal Equilibrium with C
Systems A and B come to thermal equilibrium with system C. Their temperatures become equal to C's temperature.
3 Test the Zeroth Law
When the adiabatic wall between A and B is replaced by a conducting wall, they are found to be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
