when a solid is heated the particles in it gain energy (heat energy) and vibrate more. The particles bump into each other and pass the energy on. The speed all depends on whether the solid is a conductor of heat or electricity.

What happens when you remove heat from a system?

When heat is removed from a system, the molecules within the system lose kinetic energy, causing their movement to slow down. This can lead to a decrease in temperature, condensation of gases into liquids or freezing of liquids into solids depending on the amount of heat removed.


What happens to solids and liquids on heating?

When solids are heated, they gain energy and vibrate more, causing an increase in temperature. Liquids, on the other hand, absorb the heat energy and may evaporate to form gases depending on the temperature reached.


Which type of heat transfer is most important in solids?

Conduction is the most important type of heat transfer in solids, where heat is transferred through direct contact between particles. In solids, the close proximity of particles allows for efficient transfer of thermal energy through conduction.


How conduction happens in solids?

In solids, conduction occurs when heat energy is transferred through the vibration and collision of neighboring atoms or electrons. This process happens due to the close proximity of particles in a solid material, allowing the transfer of kinetic energy from hot regions to cooler regions. Metals are good conductors of heat due to their free electrons, while nonmetals conduct heat through lattice vibrations.


Can heat transfer by convection happen in a solid?

No, heat transfer by convection requires the movement of fluids to transfer heat. Since solids do not have the ability to flow like fluids, heat transfer by convection does not typically occur in solids. Heat transfer in solids usually occurs through conduction, where heat is transferred through the vibration of particles.

Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?

Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.


How does heat through solid?

The process of conduction is how heat moves through solids. With solids, the heat energy is passed on by the atoms.


What happens to solids liquids or gases when they absorbs or release heat?

They change phase. For example, upon absorbing heat, a solid can become liquid, and a liquid and become a gas. Vice versa when releasing heat.

By which mode of heat transfer heat is transferred in solids?

the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..

Why do wires tighten up at night?

At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
