One of the examples of conduction in real life is cooking, something essential in every household.
From the stove, heat is generated by the fire.
The heat from the stove will then be transmitted through the pot/pans to the oil and finally to the food. This process is conduction.
The heat of the flame is transferred (on a molecule to molecule basis) first through the pan, then through the thin oil layer, and finally to whatever you are cooking.
However, speed of conduction varies from materials. Metal conducts heat more quickly and on the other hand, wood and plastic, slower. Thus, metal is used to make cooking pots and pans while wood and plastic are used to make pot handles and cooking spoons so that our hand will not feel as much heat.
Another example will be barbecue.
The grate or grill upon which the meat rests, having a higher specific heat than the meat, conducts heat to the meat and that is why, when the grill is right, beautiful brown stripes will magically appear upon the surface of the steak.
Then the exterior of the meat conducts heat to the interior, molecule by molecule, cooking it.

How can the commutative property be used in the real world?
it cant, its just a useful thing that you will be tested on and asked to know this stuff for the rest of your life probably for no reason because there is no reason to use this in the real world so there ya go, sorry!
What is a real world example for conduction?
As one of the railroad's best conductors, my grandfather was in charge of conduction.
Which matarial is used for light conduction?
Fiberglass is used for light conduction.
What is intrinsic conduction?
Intrinsic conduction is conduction in a pure semiconductor due to electrons moving from negative to positive and an equal number of holes moving in the opposite direction. referenced from Dan O'Regan "Real world leaving cert physics"
How can conduction be helpful?
Conduction can cause a spark which can light a light bulb. Conduction can be used to heat up metals.
Why do we not use silver and gold in conduction?
Silver and gold are two of the most popular metals in the world. They are also used to make coins, jewelry, and a variety of other things. However, they are not used in conduction because they would corrode too fast.
Name a non polygon that is used in the real world?

Are washing machines radiation convection or conduction?
It is used for CONDUCTION because conduction is when the two materials are touching and in the instance of ironing something they are touching so it is CONDUCTION :))))
