If a metal spoon is placed into a mug of hot water, which of the following best describes the heat transfer that will occur?
If a metal spoon is placed into a mug of hot water, which of the following best describes the heat transfer that will occur?
- Heat will not transfer until there is a visible change in temperature.
- Heat will transfer from the spoon to the water via convection.
- Heat will transfer from the water to the spoon via conduction. (correct)
- Heat will transfer from the water to the spoon via radiation.
What is the primary mode of heat transfer when a hair dryer is used to dry hair?
What is the primary mode of heat transfer when a hair dryer is used to dry hair?
- A combination of conduction and radiation.
- Radiation, as the hair dryer emits electromagnetic waves.
- Conduction, as the hot air directly touches the hair.
- Convection, as heated air moves and transfers heat. (correct)

Study Notes
Heat Transfer
- Heat is energy transferred from one object to another due to a temperature difference.
- A thermometer measures temperature, which is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object.
- Hot objects have fast-moving particles, while cold objects have slow-moving particles.
- Heat transfer occurs through three main methods: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction
- Conduction is the primary mode of heat transfer in solids.
- Heat transfer occurs through direct contact between objects.
- Examples include holding a hot pan handle, ironing clothes, and heating charcoal with an electric coil stove.
Convection
- Convection is heat transfer by the movement of fluid particles (liquids or gases).
- Examples include boiling water, land and sea breezes, and using a hair dryer.
Radiation
- Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
- Radiation can happen with or without material or a medium.
- Examples include warming hands over a fire, using a microwave, and sunbathing.
