Conduction - Occurs Mainly in Solids Flashcards
1
Q
In a solid, the particles are held …..
A
Tightly together
2
Q
What is thermal conduction?
A
The process where vibrating particles transfer energy from their kinetic energy store to the kinetic energy stores of neighbouring particles
3
Q
What happens when one particle vibrates
A
It collides with other particles nearby and the vibrations quickly pass from particle to particle
4
Q
This process continues throughout the solid, eventually causing?
A
A rise in temperature
