A piece of aluminum that is attached to a hot circuit to absorb the heat is called a “heat sink”. The heat transfer from the circuit board to the aluminum is:

• Conduction

• Natural Convection

• Forced Convection

• Radiation

• Insulation

A piece of aluminum that is attached to a hot circuit to absorb the heat is called a “heat sink”. The heat transfers to the air, which then begins to rise away from the circuit board due to:

• Conduction

• Natural Convection

• Forced Convection

• Radiation

• Insulation
