Question

Conduction of heat takes place within a body and between the bodies in contact with each other.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Heat can be defined as the energy which flows from the body of a higher temperature to a body of lower temperature.
2. The process of transfer of heat from the body of a higher temperature to the body of a lower temperature when two bodies are in contact with each other is called conduction.
3. The transfer of heat takes place in all the three states of matter i.e solid, liquid, and gas. But, conduction is fastest in solids.
4. Example- If we heat one end of the rod with a candle, then slowly the other end of the rod also gets heated. This becomes possible because of the transfer of energy from the flame to one end of the rod and then to the other end of the rod.

Hence, the statement is true.
