Q: Which of the following is an example of conduction?
Solution: Heating a metal rod is an example of conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between particles.
Steps: 3
Step 1: Understand what conduction is. Conduction is the process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials.
Step 2: Identify an example of conduction. Heating a metal rod is a good example because the heat moves through the metal by touching the particles in the rod.
Step 3: Recognize that in conduction, the particles do not move from one place to another; they just vibrate and pass the heat to their neighbors.
