Energy and Heat Transfer

AB
conductionThe direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that it is touching.
convectionThe movement of heat in a gas or liquid
radiationEnergy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles.
heatA form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature.
thermal energythe total kinetic energy of a substance's atoms
temperatureA measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
energy transfera change of energy from one form to another
insulatorA material that does not allow heat or electrons to move through it easily.
energyAbility to cause change
kinetic energyEnergy of motion
potential energyStored Energy
mechanical energyKinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object
sound energyEnergy caused by an object's vibrations
chemical energyEnergy stored in chemical bonds
electromagnetic energyThe energy of light and other forms of radiation, which travels through space as waves
electrical energyThe energy of position or motion of charged particles
