As we known that the conduction is due to the vibration of the atoms on their fixed positions.And due to the transfer of free elctrons.the conduction is actually took place in solids.

The best example to consider heating a solid slab from one end whose other end is at lower temperatue due to this temp. difference the heat transfer occurs and whole slab gets hotter due to conduction(vibrations of the atoms in solids).

In case of conduction we follow "Foriers law" which states

Q= - K A dT/dX

where,

Q =heat transfer or heat flow

A= Area of solid

dT/dX = Temperature Gradient (the change in temperature with respect to distance)

False... The flow of heat through direct contact is conduction.

What is the relation between conduction and heat?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by direct contact between particles. Heat is transferred from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature through conduction. Materials that are good conductors of heat allow heat to flow easily, while poor conductors (insulators) hinder the flow of heat.


What is the flow of heat through the solid is called?

The flow of heat through a solid is called conduction. Conduction occurs due to the transfer of heat energy through direct contact between particles in a material, causing them to vibrate and transfer energy to neighboring particles. This process continues until thermal equilibrium is reached.


Can you provide an example of conduction and explain how heat is transferred through this process?

An example of conduction is when you touch a hot pan on the stove. Heat is transferred through conduction as the molecules in the pan vibrate and collide with the molecules in your hand, transferring heat energy from the pan to your hand.


If a burner on the stove heats the bottom of a pot what transfer of heat is ti?

This is an example of heat transfer through conduction. Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred through a material by direct contact between particles.


What is the natural flow of heat?

The natural flow of heat is from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. This process occurs through conduction, convection, or radiation, depending on the medium through which the heat is transferring.


Is a lighter an example of conduction?

No, a lighter is not an example of conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. In the case of a lighter, heat is generated through a chemical reaction rather than transferred through direct contact with another material.


Is a microwave an example of conduction?

No, a microwave is not an example of conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects, while a microwave heats food through electromagnetic radiation.
