**Thermodynamics** is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, temperature, and energy. It provides a macroscopic perspective on physical systems and allows us to understand how energy is transformed from one form to another and how these transformations affect matter. The fundamental principles of thermodynamics are encapsulated in four laws: 1. **Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics**: Defines thermal equilibrium and establishes temperature as a measurable property.
