What is the transfer of heat from a stove burner to a pan on the burner called a conduction B convection C radiation?
(The matter is stationary on a macroscopic scale—we know there is thermal motion of the atoms and molecules at any temperature above absolute zero.) Heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan is transferred by conduction.
What do you call it when the heat from the stove burner transfers to the pan and then to the handle?
Conduction
Conduction is what makes the handle of a pot hot when only the bottom of the pot is touching the stove. The heat from the burner starts the molecules in contact with the burner start to move.
How is heat transferred from the burner to the pot?
These collisions transfer energy from the stove top (the burner) to the pot via thermal conduction. 3) As molecules on the bottom of the pot gain kinetic energy from the stove, these molecules in the pot begin colliding with other molecules in the pot, transferring heat throughout the pot, again via thermal conduction.
Why does a pot get hot when placed on the stove?
When you put the pot on the stove, the heat from the stove is somehow getting to the pot, which gets hot. The pot and the stove are obviously in contact with each other. Therefore conduction plays a role here.
How do you know if a stove is radiating?
3 Answers. If you heat up the stove as much as you can, it will glow red. This is a visible sign of radiation. I’d assume that even if not visibly glowing, the stove radiates heat, too. In those areas where the stove and the bottom of the pot are not in contact, radiation transports heat from the stove to the heat.
Why is the bottom of a stove not 100% flat?
When you hold your hand over the stove (not touching it), you can feel the heat. The air above the stove is heated and because it is a gas, moves upward. This is convection. The bottom of the pot and the surface of the stove are not 100% flat. That’s why there will be little pockets of air underneath the pot,…
