What are the three modes of heat transfer?

Back

The three modes of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does conduction occur in metals?

Back

In metals, conduction occurs as free electrons move and collide with fixed atoms, transferring kinetic energy and thus heat.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an example of convection in everyday life?

Back

An example of convection is the heating of water in a pot on a stove, where hot water rises and cooler water sinks, creating a circulation pattern.
