Conduction
Conduction is the transfer of energy or charge within a material or between materials that are in direct contact. In common usage, the term is most often applied to thermal conduction—the transfer of heat from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature within a material or between touching materials. It is also used for electrical conduction, the flow of electric charges through a material under the influence of an electric field.
Thermal conduction occurs mainly through two mechanisms: the movement of free electrons and the transfer of
Electrical conduction is the movement of charged particles in response to an electric field. In metals, electrons
