Question

Temperature is a Potential for ...

So this is how to understanding temperature: Black observed that things in thermal contact eventually reach a common temperature, just a connected bodies of water will come to the same level if there is no exterior source or sink. In other words, in analyzing heat flow, we can understand temperature as a sort of potential. Just as gravitational potential difference will cause water to flow between connected lakes at different levels, temperature difference between thermally connected objects causes heat to flow.

Answer
Heat flow
