Heat Transfer Quiz

The document is a quiz about heat transfer that contains 20 multiple choice questions asking the learner to identify whether each scenario involves conduction, convection, or radiation. It is accompanied by an answer key that provides the type of heat transfer taking place in each scenario. Some examples include convection occurring when hot water rises and cold water sinks, and conduction occurring when a spoon in hot soup becomes warmer. The document aims to test understanding of the three primary methods of heat transfer.
