Conduction

Question 8 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

In which scenarios does conduction occur? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Ice cream is placed in a bowl chilled to the same temperature.
B
An ice pack is placed on a sprained ankle.
C
A piece of frozen fish is placed in a hot frying pan.
D
A metal pot is held 15 cm above a hot stove.
E
A lizard is lying on a warm rock.

Explanation

Conduction transfers heat through direct contact between materials at different temperatures. The ice pack and ankle, frozen fish and hot pan, and lizard and warm rock are touching, so heat can flow by conduction in each case. The bowl and ice cream are at the same temperature, so there is no net heat transfer between them; the pot is not touching the stove, so heat does not reach it by direct conduction.
