Answer:

When both objects have the same temperature.

Explanation: The first answer didnt explain why, but i will try to my best. Conduction is when heat/cold is passed through objects by contact. It all stops transferring energy once its equal in thermal energy, its called thermal equilibrium when its equal. Hope this helps!
