Question

What are the characteristics of Conduction?

Answer 1

Conduction:

1. Conduction is the transmission of energy by the movement of particles in touch with one another.

Characteristics of Conduction:

1. There is no real migration of medium particles from one location to another in this sort of heat transmission.
2. A material contact between the two bodies is required for conduction.
3. The heat transfer in conduction is slow.
4. The heat transfer occurs through a heated solid object and it mostly occurs in solids.
5. The heat transfer takes place due to the difference in temperature.
