What is heat transfer?

Back

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one object to another, occurring only from warm objects to colder ones.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows heat to pass through it well, such as metals.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow heat to pass through it easily, such as wool.

Front

Which phase of matter has the most thermal energy?

Back

Gas has the most thermal energy compared to liquids and solids.

Front

What is temperature?

Back

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in an object, related to temperature.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

How does heat flow?

Back

Heat flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.
