heat is the byproduct of an object vibrating at the molecular level. When those vibrations transmit to nearby collision molecules, heat transfer occurs. Generally, the less a metal weighs, the quicker it can transfer heat.

Aluminum is a good example of this. But a hot aluminum pan will warp easily if you put cold water on it. Cast iron transfers heat much slower and doesn't easily warp if you douse it with cold water

What is an example of transfer of heat through conduction?

An example of heat transfer through conduction is placing a metal spoon in a hot bowl of soup. The heat from the soup is transferred to the spoon as the particles in the spoon vibrate and pass on the heat energy through direct contact.


How is heat conducted through a glass wall of vaccuum glass?

Heat is conducted through a glass wall of vacuum glass by the process of conduction. In vacuum glass, there is a vacuum layer between two glass panes that inhibits heat transfer through convection and conduction, making it an effective insulator. Heat is mainly conducted through the glass itself, with minimal heat loss due to the vacuum layer providing insulation.


Give 2 examples of conduction application in daily life?

Using a metal spoon to stir a hot cup of coffee. The heat from the coffee is conducted through the spoon to your hand, warming it up. Walking barefoot on a tile floor in a heated room. The heat from the floor is conducted through your feet, keeping them warm.


What is an example of conduction in the home?

An example of conduction in the home is when a metal spoon placed in a hot cup of coffee warms up due to the transfer of heat from the hot liquid to the metal. This is because the metal spoon is a good conductor of heat, allowing for efficient transfer of thermal energy.


How does heat travel by conduction through different materials?

Heat travels by conduction through different materials by transferring kinetic energy from one molecule to another. In metals, heat is conducted through the free electrons between atoms. In non-metals, heat is conducted through vibrations of atoms and molecules.

Why heat cannot be conducted through vaccum?

Conduction requires a medium. In vacuum there is no medium through which heat can be conducted. However, heat can be transmitted through vacuum in the form of radiation.


Will heat be conducted along the length of the metal rods when the whole rod has a uniform temperature?

No. Heat is conducted from a region of high temperature to that of lower temperature. If the whole rod is at the same temperature then there is no temperature gradient and so no heat will be conducted.

How do laptop heatsinks work?

Heat is conducted from the CPU to the heatsink, usually through a thermal gel of some kind. The heat is then distributed through a thin strips of metal, usually copper, and a fan blows air through them, which transfers the heat to the air and away from the CPU, usually through a small vent on the side of the laptop.
