STEMscopedia - Thermal Energy Transfer

What are the three ways in which heat flows?

• Conduction, radiation, and convection

• Conduction, convection, and evaporation

• Radiation, convection, and evaporation

• Conduction, radiation, and evaporation

What is the difference between heat and thermal energy?

• Heat is the total energy of all moving particles, while thermal energy is the transfer of heat from one object to another

• Heat is the transfer of thermal energy, while thermal energy is the total energy of all moving particles

• Heat and thermal energy are the same thing

• Heat is the energy of motion, while thermal energy is the energy of heat

What is the main difference between conduction and convection?

• Conduction occurs in solids, liquids, and gases, while convection occurs only in liquids and gases

• Conduction involves particles colliding with each other, while convection involves the movement of particles

• Conduction transfers heat through electromagnetic waves, while convection transfers heat through direct contact

• Conduction is the transfer of heat from a hotter object to a cooler object, while convection is the transfer of heat through radiation

How does heat flow when objects of different temperatures are in contact?

• Heat always moves from the cooler object to the warmer object

• Heat always moves from the warmer object to the cooler object

• Heat does not flow when objects of different temperatures are in contact

• Heat flows randomly between objects of different temperatures
