Conduction
Conduction
To give an example of what heat is, if I had a cup a hot chocolate, and put a cold spoon in the mug, the heat from the drink would transfer into the spoon until they both reach equilibrium. "Heat is not necessarily a "thing" but is instead a process of the transfer of energy between objects." "Conduction." - The Physics Hypertextbook. N.p., n.d. Web. 28 Mar. 2014. People used to think that heat was some sort of weightless thing that moved from a hot object (the hot chocolate) to the cold object (the spoon). So, the best way to describe heat flow is this: The cup of hot chocolate was hot compared to the spoon, but when I put the spoon in the hot chocolate, the molecules ...

According to `Dolbear's Law', you can calculate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit by counting the number of chirps produced in 14 seconds by the snowy tree cricket and adding 40.
"Electric charge is the property of matter that causes it to experience a force when close to other electrically charged object. There are two types of electric charges ; positive and negative charges."-Electric charge. (2014, April 30). Wikipedia. Retrieved May 2, 2014. Electric current is measured in amperes (amps). Electric potential energy is measured in volts. Positively charged objects are repelled from other positively charged objects, but are only attracted to a negatively charged object. However, negatively charged objects are repelled from other negatively charged substances, but are attracted to positively charged substances. An object will be negatively charged if it has an over-abundance of electrons, and will otherwise be positively charged or uncharged. The SI ...

multiples of individual small units called the elementary charge, e, about equal to 1.602x10-19 coulombs (except for particles that are called quarks, which have charges that are integers of e/3). The proton has a charge of e, and the electron has a charge of -e. The study of charged particles, and how their interactions are argued by photons, is (related to tiny, weird movements of atoms) electrodynamics.
Conduction is one of the three ways heat is move (from one place to another) through objects. It is the movement (from one place to another) of heat from one particle of an object to another object. "There are four things that effect conduction; temperature, length, cross-sectional ...
