Conduction between two objects can only occur when –

• one object is more dense

• both objects are in physical contact with each other

• one object is made of metal

Heat energy is transferred to a beaker of water on a heated hot plate by –

• radiation

• convection

• conduction

Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects until both reach the same temperature.

• true

• false
