Lesson outcome
I can use the idea of vibrating particles to explain heating by thermal conduction.
Show transcript
The temperature along a thermal conductor increases quickly when it is heated.
The temperature along a thermal insulator increases very slowly when it is heated.
In thermal conductors, vibrating particles quickly cause the particles near to them to vibrate as well.
In thermal insulators, it is hard for vibrating particles to cause the particles near to them to vibrate as well.
