Question

A burner on a stove produces what? a. Temperature b. thermal energy c. Hotness d. fire energy

Answer 1

Answer : (b) Thermal energy.

Explanation :

A stove is used for cooking food or in the laboratory. It produces thermal energy. It is produced due to the movement of particles inside any material.

When the temperature is increased, the particles move with much more velocities or we can say the kinetic energy of particles increases.

As a result, the thermal energy of particles raises.

In case of the burner on a stove, as heat is provided the particles move more rapidly and attains thermal energy.

Hence, the correct option is (b) Thermal energy.

Answer 2

b. thermal energy

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy due to the motion of the particles (atoms/molecules) inside a substance: the faster the particles, the higher the thermal energy involved.

In this example, the burner is used to heat the stove. As a result, the particles inside the stove acquire energy and they begin to move faster: we say therefore that the stove has acquired thermal energy.
