ConductionBY AYAAN JOHN

What is Conduction?

It is the process of transferring heat from one end to the other.

Hot to cold

Conductors

Some good conductors are:

Conductors

All metals are good conductors, which is why we use them to cook in. Due to the fast transfer of heat.

Supposing one end of the conductor is heated the atoms in that particular object will start to vibrate due to the heat, therefore causing the heat to spread to the other side of the object. Resulting in conduction.

Bad Conductors

Bad conductors are which don’t let heat easily pass through them. Here are some examples of bad conductors

Paper

Cloth

Wood

Air

Good conductors of heat are usually good insulators too.
