Thermal Energy and Heat Transfer Quiz

What is conduction?

• The transfer of heat or electricity through a substance by the absorption of the substance.

• The transfer of heat or electricity through a substance by the emission of the substance.

• The transfer of heat or electricity through a substance by the movement of the substance itself.

• The transfer of heat or electricity through a substance without any apparent movement of the substance itself.
