Conduction and Convection Physics Unit 1 Conduction and Convection 4.0 / 5 based on 4 ratings ? PhysicsEnergyGCSEAll boards Created by: Sophie PeggCreated on: 20-05-12 16:27 Heat flows from... hot to cold 1 of 6 Conduction of heat is the process where... vibrating particles pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighbouring particles by collision 2 of 6 This process continues throughout the solid gradually until... the extra kinetic energy is passes all the way through the solid, causing a rise in temperature at the other side of the solid 3 of 6 Why do metals conduct well? because of free electrons 4 of 6 When does convection occur? When the more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler region, becoming less dense, taking their energy with them. 5 of 6 Name an example of where convection currents occur. immersion heater 6 of 6
