There are two kinds of conduction: thermal conduction and electrical conduction.
Some materials are better conductors than others. Most metals are good thermal conductors, and certain metals (copper, aluminum) are very good electrical conductors. When a material is an exceptionally poor conductor, we call it an insulator. Styrofoam is a good thermal insulator, and glass is a good electrical insulator.
Yes, thermal conduction and conduction are often used interchangeably. Thermal conduction specifically refers to the transfer of heat through a material due to a temperature difference.
Conduction
Characteristics for conduction
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
That sounds like a description of heat conduction.
It is known as: conduction.
Conduction is a phenomenon not a material.
conduction
conduction
no, conduction describes how the heat is transported not how it is generated. With conduction, a heat source is still needed.
Conduction can cause a spark which can light a light bulb. Conduction can be used to heat up metals.
The Rinne test compares bone conduction and air conduction of sound using a tuning fork. The tuning fork is initially placed on the mastoid bone behind the ear to assess bone conduction, then placed near the ear canal to assess air conduction. A normal result is when air conduction is greater than bone conduction.
