Illustration of thermal conduction in a metal. Thermal conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between particles in a material. Microscopic vibrations and collisions between particles and movement of electrons within the metal transfer disorganized microscopic kinetic and potential energy (arrows) from areas of high temperature (yellow) to areas of low temperature (blue), resulting in the conduction of heat. | |
