Question

The mechanism of transfer of heat between two adjacent parts of a body because of their temperature difference is known as ___________.

Answer 1

Conduction

1. Conduction is the mechanism of heat transfer between two adjacent parts of a body because of their temperature difference.
2. In conduction, heat energy is transmitted through the rapid vibration of atoms or molecules of the object.
3. Conduction is mostly seen in solids and liquids because their interparticle spacing is less as compared to gases.
4. Electrical wires, metals, etc. are good conductors.
