Science Quiz Flashcards
Convection, Conduction, And Radiation.
Conduction
Movement of heat in a material through direct contact
Conduction
Transfer of heat by movement by movement of materials
Radiation
Movement of heat without matter to carry it
Conducters
are defined as the materials or substances that allow electricity to flow through them. Also, conductors allow heat to be transmitted through them. Examples of conductors are metals, the human body, Earth and animals.
Insulators
The materials or substances that resist or don’t allow the current to pass through them
They are, in general, solid in nature. Often, in a number of systems, insulators are used as they do not allow heat to flow. Some good examples of insulators are wood, fabric, glass, mica, and quartz. Insulators provide protection against fire, sound, and, of course, electricity transmi
