The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through the material of a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
Conduction is the transfer of energy in some form of heat or electricity from one atom to another, within an object by direct contact. Conduction can occur in solids, liquids, and gasses. Conduction of electricity occurs because of the movement of electrically charged particles through a medium.
