When a Cold Steel Spoon is dipped in a cup of hot milk heat is transferred to it other and by the process of Conduction.


Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly the heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.

Thus Conduction occurs when the heat is transferred from a hot object to a cooler object with the actual movement of particles when kept in contact with each other.


Example of the process of heat conduction- A cold cast iron skillet is placed onto a stovetop. When the stove is turned on, the skillet becomes very hot due to the conduction of heat from the burner to the skillet.
