Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conduction refers to the molecule-to-molecule transfer of heat energy that diffuses through the material. This can occur in solids, liquids, and gases, and is primarily driven by differences in temperature between adjacent molecules. Conduction plays an important role in heat transfer in many different contexts, from cooking food to cooling electronic devices. Choices A, B, D, and E do not accurately describe conduction.
