Question
Conduction is the way of heat transfer which takes place in a ______.
Options
solid
liquid
gas
All of them
Solution
Conduction is the way of heat transfer which takes place in a solid.
Explanation:
Conduction is the process of heat transfer that occurs primarily in solids. In this method, heat is transferred through direct contact between particles without any bulk movement of the material. The tightly packed structure of solids facilitates this transfer of heat energy from one particle to the next through vibrations.
While conduction can occur to some extent in liquids and gases, it is not as efficient because their particles are less closely packed compared to solids.
