Question

Give three applications of convection of heat .

Answer 1

• Boiling water - The heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. Then, this hot water rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a circular motion.
• Radiator - Puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom.
• Steaming cup of hot tea - The steam is showing heat being transfered into the air.
• Ice melting - Heat moves to the ice from the air. This causes the melting from a solid to liquid.
