Front

What is conduction in terms of energy transfer?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of energy through direct contact between particles.

Front

What is convection in terms of energy transfer?

Back

Convection is the transfer of energy through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) due to differences in temperature.
