Two objects, with different sizes, masses, and temperatures, are placed in thermal contact. In which direction does the energy travel? (a) Energy travels from the larger object to the smaller object. (b) Energy travels from the object with more mass to the one with less mass. (c) Energy travels from the object at higher temperature to the object at lower temperature.
What is the role of “loose” electrons in heat conductors?
(A) Loose electrons move quickly away from hot locations, making it impossible for energy to move and making the object a good insulator.
(B) Loose electrons absorb energy, giving materials a high specific heat capacity.
(C) Loose electrons vibrate and emit radiation that carries energy through the material at the speed of light.
(D) Loose electrons transfer energy rapidly through a solid.
