Step-by-step explanation:

When two objects or substances that have different temperature are placed in contact with each other then there will be flow of heat from hotter object to colder object.

This transfer of heat will continue until the temperature of both the objects become equal.

For example, if a metal box has
T_(1) temperature that is higher than another metal box adjacent to it which has
T_(2) temperature. Then heat will flow from
T_(1) to
T_(2) until the temperature of both the boxes become equal to
T_(3).

Hence, we can conclude that conduction stops when all substances have same temperature.
