-This is done when the vibrating particles of a solid transfer energy to neighbouring particles through collision
Convection
When heat is transferred through a fluid (liquid or gas)
-This is done when particles of the fluid move in a convection current, which is when warm particles move to a cool region and cool particles move to a warm region.
Radiation
When heat is transferred through waves
-This is done when a hot object emits a lot of radiation, for instance, the Sun, and an object absorbs this radiation
Specific Heat Capacity
The energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a material by 1ºC
Thermal conductivity
The rate of thermal energy transferred by conduction
How much energy per second is transferred to a material depends on:
