Z
In which areas of the diagram does conduction occur?
O W and X
O X and Z
O Y and Z
OZ and W

Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, B. X and Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat always transfers from hotter object to colder object. Because well heat it like a big territory with a leader that just wants to get hotter and hotter.

Our conduction will occur when there is contact between hotter body and colder body. The molecules vibrate at their position and transfer heat to the neighboring molecules which can be hot or cold. In the diagram conduction takes place at X and Z. The heat transfers from pan to handle at X and then from handle to hand at Z.

We also know that bulk or stable motion of fluid carries energy. Like in area W in the diagram. Radiation does not require medium to transfer energy because it is not needed for it. Like in the area of Y.

Thus the answer to your problem is, B. X and Z
