Conduction

Question 1 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

How is thermal energy transferred during conduction? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Thermal energy is transferred between particles that are not touching each other.
B
Thermal energy is transferred between particles that are in direct contact with each other.
C
Thermal energy is transferred between objects of different temperatures.
D
Thermal energy is transferred between objects of the same temperature.
E
Thermal energy is transferred from slow-moving particles to fast-moving particles.
F
Thermal energy is transferred from fast-moving particles to slow-moving particles.

Explanation

In conduction, thermal energy passes through direct contact, so it is transferred between particles touching each other (B). The transfer occurs when there is a temperature difference, moving from the warmer object to the cooler one (C). At the particle level, faster-moving particles transfer energy to slower-moving particles (F).
