Question 35 • Physics

Which is an example of conduction?

Answer
A
Air above an ocean warms up and rises.
B
A stone gets hot from sitting outside on a sunny day.
C
A hand is burned when touching a pot handle.
D
Soup is warmed in a microwave oven.

Explanation

Conduction transfers heat through direct contact between objects. A hand touching a hot pot handle receives heat by direct contact, so the hand being burned is an example of conduction. Air rising is convection, while sunlight and microwaves transfer energy by radiation.
