Heat flows from ___________ end of the object to ____________ end in a solid object
Answers
Answer:
Heat flows from ONE end of the object to OTHER end in a solid object
Explanation:
For explaination we can take a look at a Activity
Take a rod or flat strip of a metal, say of aluminium or iron. Fix a few small wax pieces on the rod. These pieces should be at nearly equal distances. Clamp the rod to a stand. If you do not find a stand, you can put one end of the rod in between bricks. Now, heat the other end of the rod and observe.
The process by which heat is transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of an object is known as conduction. In solids, generally, the heat is transferred by the process of conduction.
Do all substances conduct heat easily? You must have observed that the metallic pan for cooking has a plastic or wooden handle. Can you lift a hot pan by holding i t from the handle without getting hurt?
