Heat & Heat Transfer Notes Recap

What is heat and how is it transferred from one place to another?

• Heat is a form of energy transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation.

• Heat is a type of matter that moves by diffusion.

• Heat is a force that acts at a distance.

• Heat is a chemical reaction that produces light.

What is conduction?

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through a solid material by direct contact of particles.

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through empty space without any medium.

• Conduction is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids such as liquids or gases.

• Conduction is the process of converting heat energy into electrical energy.

Conduction is:

• the transfer of heat through direct contact

• the transfer of heat through a fluid

• the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves

• the process of a solid turning into a gas

The particles in good conductors are typically (a)   .

• close together
• randomly arranged
• not present
• far apart

Why do people use insulators?

• To allow heat and electricity to flow freely.
• To increase conductivity in materials.
• To prevent the transfer of heat

• To speed up the transfer of heat
