Exploring Heat Transfer: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

The video tutorial explains how thermal energy moves through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs in solids when heat transfers through direct contact. Convection involves the movement of heat in liquids and gases, creating currents. Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves, allowing energy to travel through space. Examples include a kettle on a stove, a hot air balloon, and warming by a fireplace. The video concludes with a summary of these concepts.
