Heat Transfer by Conduction

Which of the following scenarios would best demonstrate the transfer of heat by conduction?

A) a candle and the air.

B) an oven and a glass dish.

C) a stove and a copper pot.

D) water and a wooden spoon.

Answer:

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Conduction is a process where heat transfer occurs when two objects of different temperatures are held adjacent to each other. Heat gets transferred from the hotter substance to the cooler substance.

For example, when a copper pot is placed on a stove, heat transfers from the stove to the copper pot through conduction. This allows the copper pot to heat up and cook the food inside it.

Therefore, in this scenario, the best demonstration of heat transfer by conduction would be between a stove and a copper pot.
