    Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only change forms (the 1st law of thermodynamics). This means that when energy is transferred to another substance it has to lose some energy someway, because no energy transfer is 100% efficient. It loses it by converting in thermal energy. The temperature will increase in both substances but more likely in the substance that the energy is transfer to.
