Thermal Energy

Thermal Energy always transfer from

• something warmer to something cooler

• something cooler to something warmer

• something solid to something liquid

• something big to something smaller

Conduction can only occur between two objects when –

• one object is less dense than the other.
• both objects are in physical contact with each other.
• one of the objects is made of a metal.
• both objects are exactly the same temperature.
