Which accurately completes the statement?
Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or
A. thermal energy
B. light waves
C. protons
D. neutrons
due to the movement of particles.
Answer (1)
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles in a material. As one particle gains energy, it passes that energy to neighboring particles, resulting in the transfer of heat without any large-scale movement of the material. This process is fundamental in understanding how heat is distributed in solids. ;
