Questions and Answers

What is the primary way heat is transferred through conduction?

Through the movement of air

Through direct contact between particles (correct)

Through the movement of fluids

Through electromagnetic waves

Why is conduction more effective in solids and liquids than in gases?

Because particles are denser in solids and liquids

Because particles are slower in gases

Because particles are heavier in solids and liquids

Because particles are farther apart in gases (correct)

What is the primary mechanism of heat transfer in a convection oven?

Conduction through direct contact

Convection through the movement of heated air (correct)
