Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes conduction?

  • The process of heating a fluid from the bottom
  • The transfer of heat between two objects in contact due to a temperature difference (correct)
  • The expansion of a fluid causing it to rise above a cooler part
  • The movement of molecules from one place to another

    • What is the main difference between conduction and convection?

  • Conduction involves direct transfer of heat between objects, while convection involves the movement of the material itself (correct)
  • Conduction is a faster process than convection
  • Conduction involves the expansion of a fluid causing it to rise
  • Conduction only occurs in fluids, while convection occurs in solids

    • What causes heat to transfer in conduction?

  • The movement of molecules from one place to another

    Study Notes

    Heat Transfer Methods

    • Conduction is the direct heat transfer between particles in physical contact, where energy is transferred from one particle to another through vibrations.

    Conduction vs Convection

    • The main difference between conduction and convection is that conduction occurs in solids, while convection occurs in fluids.

    Conduction Mechanism

    • Heat transfer in conduction occurs due to the vibration of particles, which increases as the temperature of the solid increases, causing adjacent particles to gain energy and vibrate more rapidly.

    Convection in Fluids

    • In fluids, heat flow occurs through convection, where heated fluid expands, becomes less dense, and rises, creating a circulation of fluid known as a convective cell.

    Everyday Example of Convection

    • An example of convection in everyday life is the heating of a room using a radiator, where hot water heats the air closest to the radiator, causing it to rise and circulate, creating a convective cell.
