Heat Conduction From the wordweb dictionary, the word ‘conduct’ means guide, lead, impart. So here, we will be talking about how the heat is conducted. Heat conduction only occurs when there is a difference in temperature at two parts of a body or between 2 or more bodies. It is a process of energy transfer between the atoms/molecules in the body. You may also relate this concept with the term ‘conductor’ that we’ve always used to it. Particles vibration in hot and cold region The process of heat conduction is all about the particles (atoms /molecules) movement . I n a hot substance, the particles move faster as they have more energy compared to the particles in a cooler substance. The more energetic particles transfer their energy to the slower neighboring particles. This transfer of energy is heat conduction. This phenomenon can bee seen from the figure above. The heat transfer has its own rate (how fast it is transferred), dQ...
