Wfwhat is the definition of conduction

the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.

Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring molecules. Think of a frying pan set over an open camp stove. The fire's heat causes molecules in the pan to vibrate faster, making it hotter.
