Question

In which scenarios does conduction occur? Check all that apply.

Ice cream is placed in a bowl chilled to the same temperature.

An ice pack is placed on a sprained ankle.

A piece of frozen fish is placed in a hot frying pan.

A metal pot is held 15 cm above a hot stove.

A lizard is lying on a warm rock.

Answer 1

2,3,5 are correct just took the test

Answer 2

Heat transfer due to conduction will occur only when two bodies which are at different temperature are made in contact with each other.

Now due to this the heat will will from high temperature body to low temperature via the medium between two objects

so here the correct examples of conduction is as following

1.  Ice cream is placed in a bowl chilled to the same temperature.  

NOT conduction as they are at same temperature

2. An ice pack is placed on a sprained ankle.  

CONDUCTION

3.  A piece of frozen fish is placed in a hot frying pan.  

CONDUCTION

4.  A metal pot is held 15 cm above a hot stove.  

NOT conduction as they are not in contact

5.  A lizard is lying on a warm rock.
