17
Q

Heat transfer CONDUCTION explain?

A

Is the transfer of heat through or along a solid without the particles actually moving ( gold silver copper aluminium brass and bronze) are good conductors of heat

18
Q

Convection explain???

A

Is the transfer of heat through the air or a liquid cause when the molecule rise upwards after heating because they become lighter ( radiators)

19
Q

Radiation explain??

A

Is the transfer of heat to a solid objects in straight lines without heating the air ( the sun or hot fire)
