Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact between objects or substances at different temperatures. It occurs when vibrating particles pass along their kinetic energy to neighboring particles, causing a transfer of thermal energy. Materials that conduct heat well, like metals, transfer heat quickly, while insulating materials like wood transfer heat more slowly.

When does the conduction occurs too?

Conduction is the transferring of heat from one substance to another. Therefore, conduction usually occurs when one hot object comes into contact with another object that is not as hot.


Which occurs if two object at different temperatures are in contact?

conduction occurs...


What is the difference between conduction and convection a 5th grade answer please?

Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.


What type of nervous system conduction occurs in myelinated axons?

Saltatory Conduction


Does saltatory conduction only occur in CNS?

Saltory conduction only occurs in the myelinated axons.

How is energy transferred when objects are in objects?

conduction occurs


How is saltatory conduction different from continuous conduction?

Saltatory conduction occurs in myelinated neurons where the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next, speeding up the transmission of signals. In comparison, continuous conduction occurs in unmyelinated neurons where the action potential moves along the entire length of the axon, which is slower than saltatory conduction.


What is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids?

Can conduction travel through a vacuum?

Conduction occurs between two contacting objects, so whether or not they're in a vacuum is irrelevant.
