This study guide covers thermal conductivity (k), a measure of a material's heat transfer efficiency. It explains the concept, its significance in metals, and Fourier's Law of Conduction to calculate heat transfer. The guide also includes an example problem breakdown, experimental design considerations, and practice questions with a scoring rubric. Key exam topics and last-minute tips are highlighted for AP Physics 2 preparation.
