Question

earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 centimeters above a hot burner. how can this scenario be changed to demonstrate conduction between the pan and the burner? a.increase the temperature of the burner b.use a glass pan instead of a metal pan c.use foam potholders to hold the pan d.touch the pan to the burner

Answer 1

Answers : (d) touch the pan to the burner.

Explanation :

It is given that, Earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 cm above a hot burner.

Conduction is defined as the process of transfer of heat from one body to another when they are in contact with each other. It is also known as charging by contact.

So out of given options, the correct one is (d) "touch the pan to the burner". For conduction, the two bodies must be in direct contact.

Answer 2

The answer is D.

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy by means of direct contact. Particles that are warmer have more energy so the move faster. When these warm particles touch cold particles, they collide with them and transfer energy to them and they continue to pass it on to the other particles next to them.
