When heat is transferred from one particle of hot body to another by actual motion of the heated particles, it is referred to as heat transfer by

A Conduction
B Convection
C Radiation
D Conduction and convection

Correct Answer: Conduction

Conduction transfers heat via direct molecular collision. An area of greater kinetic energy will transfer thermal energy to an area with lower kinetic energy. Higher-speed particles will collide with slower speed particles. The slower-speed particles will increase in kinetic energy as a result.
