Question

Heat transfer through conduction is ___.

• A. an exchange of mass
• B. an exchange of potential energy of particles
• C. an exchange of kinetic energy of particles
• D. an exchange of density of particles

Answer 1

The correct option is C

an exchange of kinetic energy of particles

In conduction, heat transfer takes place by placing the bodies actually in contact, in which the kinetic energy of molecules of hotter body is transferred to the molecules of colder body.
