13.1 Thermal conductivity
Heat, Q
• is defined as the energy that is transferred from one body to
another because of a difference in temperature.
• Heat always transferred from a hot region (higher temperature)
to a cool region (lower temperature) until thermal equilibrium is
achieved.
• It is a scalar quantity and its unit is Joule (J).
Temperature, T
• is defined as a fundamental quantity that measures the degree
of hotness of a body.
• The units for temperature are degree celsius (centigrade) (C),
degree fahrenheit (F) and kelvin (K).
• It is scalar quantity and Its dimension is .

Thermal conduction in a insulator rod (non metal)
• Consider a non-metal rod is heated at its one end as shown in
Figure 13.1.

A
Figure 13.1
• At the hot end (A), molecules of the rod are receiving heat directly
from the fire. This causes the molecules to vibrate faster and
faster.
• Collision between these hot molecules with the neighbouring
colder molecules result in the transfer of energy to the colder
molecules.
• This transfer of energy will continue until the cold end (B) of the rod
become hot.
