Question

In conduction, heat is transferred:
Options
A From one particle of the body to another by the actual motion of the heated particles
B From one particle of the body to another without actual motion of the particles
Correct Answer
C None of the above
D From one body to another without direct contact
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any bulk motion of the material. Energy is transferred by collisions between particles (atoms/molecules) without the particles themselves moving from one place to another.

Hint

Contrast conduction with convection (particle motion) and radiation (no medium needed).
