Understand that 'conduction' implies movement within a material rather than across different materials. Metal wires allow for the conduction of electricity within them.
Pro Tip 2/3
Scientific Context
'Conduction' is often used in discussions about science, especially physics and engineering. During the lecture, the professor explained the principles of heat conduction.
Pro Tip 3/3
Not Visible
'Conduction' describes a process that is usually invisible to the naked eye. Despite not seeing it, conduction was warming the entire house through the radiator.
