Definition
Conduction is the transfer of heat or electricity through a material, without any movement of the material itself. Imagine holding a metal spoon in hot soup; the spoon gets hot due to conduction. π₯ Some materials are good conductors, like metals, while others are poor conductors (insulators), like wood or plastic. Heat transfer occurs through the vibration of atoms and electrons. Electrical conduction involves the movement of electrons. Itβs a fundamental process in physics and engineering.
