P1.1.4 Conduction 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsEnergy Transfer by HeatingGCSEAQA Created by: MaddiCreated on: 18-04-14 21:32 What is conduction? Transfer of energy from particle to particle in matter. 1 of 5 What materials make the best conductors? Metals are the best conductors of energy. 2 of 5 What materials make the best insulators? Materials such as wool and fibreglass are the best insulators. 3 of 5 Why are metals good conductors? Conduction of energy in a metal is due mainly to free electrons transferring energy inside the metal. 4 of 5 Why are non-metals poor conductors? Non-metals are poor conductors because they do not contain free elctrons. 5 of 5
