Question

Kim designed an experiment to show how heat can be transferred from one place to another. The steps of the experiment are shown below. Coat one end of an iron rod with wax. Dip the other end of the iron rod into a jar of hot water. Observe the wax melt due to heat. What does Kim's experiment most likely demonstrate? heat transfer by convection heat transfer by conduction energy transfer by radiation energy transfer by condensation

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option B which is heat transfer by conduction.

Explanation:

• According to the description of the experiment given in the question, the heat transfer is by conduction.
• Heat conduction is the transfer of energy from one place to another place of material by collision and vibration of small particles(atoms) in the material.
• While convection is transfer by the movement of material itself.
• Radiation transfer is by rays.
• As the rod does not moved, only heat energy moved from from one end to other by the atomic collisions in rod.
• Hence option B is the only correct option.

Answer 2

I believe it is transfer by condensation.
