Conduction: The Transfer of Heat

What is conduction?

Conduction is the transfer of heat from:

Conduction is a method of heat transfer that occurs through direct contact between particles of a substance. In conduction, heat energy moves from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. This transfer of heat occurs without any movement of the particles themselves; instead, it is the kinetic energy of the particles that is passed along to neighboring particles.
