Conduction

Question 1

What is conduction

Answer 1

Is the process where vibrating particles transfer energy form their kinetic energy store to the kinetic energy store their neighbouring particles

Question 2

what state does it usually occur in

Answer 2

solids

Question 3

How to prevent it

Answer 3

Use materials with lower thermal conductivity

Use insulation, blankets, clothes and foam cavity wall insulation

Traps pockets of air, energy conducts very slowly through the pockets of air

Question 4

experiment to demonstrate conduction

Answer 4

Attach beads (at regular intervals) to a metal bar with wax

Hold the bar in a clamp stand and heat

The beads will fall as the temperature increases
