  1. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    Conduction is heat transfer through stationary matter by physical contact. (The matter is stationary on a macroscopic scale—we know there is thermal motion of the atoms and molecules at any …

  2. Heat Transfer - Conduction, Convection, Radiation

    Sep 18, 2022 · Conduction requires that molecules touch each other, making it a slower process than convection or radiation. Atoms and molecules with a lot of energy have more kinetic …

  3. Conduction - Center for Science Education

    Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where …

  4. Conduction - GeeksforGeeks

    Jul 23, 2025 · Conduction is the process of transfer of heat from a hot body to a cold body without actual movement of molecules. In conduction, the transfer of heat takes place by direct contact …

  5. What Is Conduction? A Simple Explanation - ScienceInsights

    Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transferred through direct physical contact, either between two objects or within a single object. This transfer is spontaneous, moving …

  6. CONDUCTION Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    The meaning of CONDUCTION is the act of conducting or conveying. How to use conduction in a sentence.

  7. What is conduction in science? - California Learning Resource …

    Jul 2, 2025 · Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium via direct contact and molecular collisions. It manifests as the kinetic energy of more energetic particles (atoms or …

  8. Conduction – The Physics Hypertextbook

    Conduction is the flow of heat through a material that happens with no flow of the material itself — or the transfer of heat between objects in direct contact.

  9. Heat Transfer, Temperature, Conduction - Britannica

    Sep 16, 2025 · Conduction involves transfer of energy and entropy between adjacent molecules, usually a slow process. Convection involves movement of a heated fluid, such as air, usually a …

  10. 14.5: Conduction - Physics LibreTexts

    Conduction is caused by the random motion of atoms and molecules. As such, it is an ineffective mechanism for heat transport over macroscopic distances and short time distances.
