Resumo: The aim of this paper is to make a historical analysis of the appearance of the caloric theory, its explanatory power and its decline. Unlike many texts disclose, we will show that Joseph Black was not the first to investigate the heat as a substance and that the experiments of Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) were not crucial to the abandonment of this theory. The explanatory power of the caloric will be shown by analysis of extracts from the book of dissemination of Science authored by Janet Marcet. We believe that the knowledge of these facts will help to better understand the origin of many terms that we use in the study of the calorimetry, besides alerting teachers and students of the historical claims errors found in textbooks.

Ao contrário do que muitos textos divulgam, mostraremos que Joseph Black não foi o primeiro a pesquisar o calor como substância e que os experimentos de Benjamin Thompson (Conde Rumford) não foram cruciais para o abandono dessa teoria. O poder explicativo do calórico será evidenciado por análises de trechos do livro de divulgação da ciência de autoria de Janet Marcet. Acreditamos que o conhecimento desses fatos ajudará a compreender melhor a origem de muitos termos que utilizamos no estudo da calorimetria, além de alertar professores e alunos quanto aos erros de afirmações históricas presentes nos textos didáticos. Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2012-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2012v29n3p103010.5007/2175-7941.2012v29n3p1030Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 29 n. 3 (2012); 1030-10732175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2012v29n3p1030/23609Gomes, Luciano Carvalhaisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-01-06T09:28:30Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/24581Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2020-01-06T09:28:30Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
