Conduction

Conduction

Energy transferred to an object by heating is transferred to the thermal energy store of the object

This energy is shared across the kinetic energy stores of the particles in the object

The particles in the part of the object being heated vibrate more and collide with each other

These collisions cause energy to be transferred between particles' kinetic energy store

This process continues throughout the object until the energy is transferred to the other side of the object

The energy is then usually transferred to the thermal energy store of the surroundings or anything else touching the object
