Heat is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation
Conduction • Heat is transferred from 1 particle of matter to another through touch • Example: metal spoon on stove burner, spoon gets hot
Convection • Heat is transferred by movement of currents through fluids. • Example: water heating on a stove, hot water moves faster and goes to the top of the pot
Radiation • Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves • Example: feel heat of a fire across the room
Heat Movement • Heat flows from the warmer object to the colder one
Conductors and Insulators • Conductors transfer thermal energy well • Example: metals • Insulators do not transfer thermal energy well • Example: wood, wool
