Question

A typical electric oven has two separate heating elements: one on top and one on the bottom. The bottom element is used for baking while the top element is used to broil foods. When only the bottom element is active and glowing red hot, what heat transfer mechanisms carry most of the heat to the food in the oven?

Answer 1

Convection and Radiation mechanisms carry most of the heat

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because Convection proceeds strongy as heated air rises from the hot element while Radiation is also strong, although the material of the cooking pots will how effective it is.
