Question

Explain how conduction of heat occurs in a solid metal rod

Answer 1

Explanation:

when we heat a metal rod from one end , the heat travels from one end to another.

This transfer of heat is called conduction.

Answer 2

Answer:

When the rod is heated the temperature of the rod near the heated end increases and the molecules at that end vibrating faster. These vibrations are passed along rod and thus heat is transferred along the length of the rod. The conduction of heat is more effective when the molecules are packed close together. Therefore, conduction is very fast in solids.
