The fan is removing air from the house, and the condensation that is in the air. If air flow is blocked the condensation will accumulate and in the pipe and drip back down. If you live in a cold environment air again leaves through the pipe and will accumulate in the duct when the temperature in the duct falls the moisture turns back into water and drips back. At the fan there will be a "door" that shuts with no air flow and opens when the fan pushes the air into it. Check to see that the door opens and closes freely and that the duct is not compressed or kinked. Ideally there should not be too many bends in it and it should lead up and out or across and out, not up and down then out, it should also be insulated as well to reduce temperature differences.

I have seen some fans installed and whomever installed it screwed the duct on but put the screw threw the flapper door thus blocking the air flow.

Two examples of conduction are heating a pot over a stove and roasting marshmallows?

Yes, heating a pot over a stove is an example of conduction. As the stove heats the bottom of the pot, the heat is transferred through the pot's material. Roasting marshmallows over a campfire would also be an example of conduction, as the heat from the fire is transferred directly to the marshmallows.

Water dripping from the exhaust fan in your bathroom could be due to condensation forming on the fan blades or ductwork. This can happen when warm, moist air from the shower or bath comes into contact with the cooler surfaces of the fan and duct, causing the moisture in the air to condense and drip. It is important to ensure that the fan is properly vented to the outside to prevent moisture buildup.
