A scientific law is the simple mathematical expression of the relationship involved. A principle is the same relationship expressed in words. A theory is the explanation of the facts that make up the relationship.
When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.
In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal. Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.
