What are some real-life examples of conduction?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. A common example is a metal spoon in a hot pot.

Can you explain how conduction works in that example?

Sure! When the spoon touches the hot pot, heat from the pot transfers to the spoon, warming it up.

Are there other materials that conduct heat well?

Yes, metals like copper and aluminum are excellent conductors, while materials like wood and plastic are poor conductors.

What about conduction in everyday appliances?

In appliances like toasters and irons, conduction helps transfer heat to the food or fabric, cooking or pressing them.
