What is an conduction?

Answer 1

The process of electricity flowing through materials such as copper or aluminum. Not so useful. Better: Conductive materials are rated for their ability as a conductor, usually wire is the cheapest. The more useful ratings are voltage and amperage.

Answer 2

Do you mean conduction of heat or electric current?

Suppose you mean the conduction of heat then it is due to the vibratory motion of atoms or molecules in a solid body. When one of its end is heated. then heat energy given would make the atoms or molecules vibrate with greater amplitude. Now these molecules or atoms would make the neighboring atoms or molecules to vibrate. Thus this information of vibration is passed over from one to the other. This process is known as conduction of heat and soon the other end also becomes hot.

In case of electric current, negatively charged free electrons would be attracted towards the positive polarity of the external source attached to a conducting wire. So electric current is passing through the conductor. Somehow these electrons may be attracted by the positively charged nuclei and hence a resistance towards the flow will be produced. This is known as Ohmic resistance.

Answer 3

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material via direct contact, where heat energy is passed from one molecule to the next. It occurs in solids, liquids, and gases but is most effective in solids due to their tightly packed molecules. Good conductors like metals transfer heat efficiently, while insulators like wood resist heat flow.

Answer 4

Conduction is the transfer of heat between two parts of a stationary system, caused by a temperature difference between the parts.

Answer 5

Transfer of heat energy resulting from differences in temperature between adjacent bodies or adjacent parts of a body

Answer 6

The transfer of heat by molecular motion from a source of high temperature to a region of lower temperature, tending toward a result of equalized temperatures.
