Question

Name the mode of transfer of heat from one particle to another in solids.

Answer 1

1. Conduction is the process of transfer of heat from the hotter end to the colder end of a solid without any actual visible movement of material particles of the solid.
2. During conduction, the molecules of a substance that come in contact with heat possess more energy.
3. They collide with their neighbor molecules and transfer some energy to them and so on. As a result, heat transfers from the hotter part to a colder part of the substance.
4. Hence the heat from one particle to another particle in solids can be transferred through conduction.
