If a body is getting heated by conduction, that means the body is _______ heat

The correct answer is: Receiving

• Conduction occurs when  a substance is heated. 
• The transfer of heat is from hotter end to cooler end .
• The molecules vibrate at their mean position and hence transfer the energy to the adjacent particles. 
• The body or the particle getting heated is thus receiving the heat energy from the hotter body or the adjacent hotter particle that are loosing heat.
