Thermal conductivity refers to how well a material conducts or transfers heat. It measures how quickly thermal energy can move through a substance.
congrats on reading the definition of Thermal Conductivity. now let's actually learn it.
Insulator: A material that has low thermal conductivity and does not allow heat to pass through easily.
Specific Heat Capacity: The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount.
When two objects or substances reach the same temperature and there is no net flow of heat between them.
