What is the definition of thermal conduction?

The definition of thermal conduction is heat transfer. Thermal conduction is when heat is transferred from one source to another.

Is thermal energy transferred through conduction convection or radiation?

thermal energy can transfer through conduction, convention and radiation


What are types of conduction?

Thermal and Electric


When does thermal conduction in a solid stop?

In a solid, thermal conduction will only stop when the entire solid object has reached the same temperature.


Is a thermal conduction a physical property?

Thermal conductivity is a Physical property


Do semiconductor material have a very high resistance at room temperature?

No. As temperature increases, resistance of semiconductors decrease. This is because semiconductors have a small energy gap between their valence band and conduction band (in the order of 1 eV). Electrons must exist in the conduction band in order for the material to conduct but electrons exist in the valence band naturally. The electrons gain thermal energy for surroundings and jumps the energy gap from valence band to conduction band and hence, the SC material more readily conducts. As temperature increases, electrons can gain more thermal energy, more electrons can enter the conduction band and hence, resistance decreases.


What is the difference between conduction convection and thermal energy?

Conduction and convection are two ways in which thermal energy is transferred, the third way is by radiation.

How does the increase in thermal energy of the cylinder relate to the mass of the falling object?

Thermal energy is generated by the friction with the air (air resistance), it does not depend on the mass but the surface area of a falling object.


How does a flask reduce heat loss by conduction and radiation?

Using vacuum as an insulator avoids heat loss by conduction. Heat transfer is minimised by reflective silver surfaces that are applied to the flask. This prevents thermal radiation from entering and escaping the flask.


How does a thermos flask reduce heat loss by conduction?
