When fast-moving atoms or molecules hit slower-moving atoms or molecules and increase their speed, heat is transferred. This process is called conduction. The atoms in the hot spoon are moving faster ...

This process is very much faster than conduction caused by just passing vibrations from atom to atom. Hence, conduction in metals is faster than in non-metals. Conduction in insulators (non-metals ...

As they move through the metal, free electrons crash into metal ions. This process is very much faster than conduction caused by just passing vibrations from atom to atom. Hence, conduction in ...

The process affects peripheral nerves in various forms of polyneuritis, and the central nervous system in multiple (disseminated) sclerosis. The effects of demyelination on conduction in the ...
