What is convection?
Back
Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). It occurs when warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a circulation pattern.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between mass and thermal energy transfer?
Back
To compare thermal energy transfer between different materials, the mass of the materials needs to be the same. This ensures that any differences in thermal energy transfer are due to the materials themselves.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does a light keep food warm?
Back
A light keeps food warm by transferring thermal energy through radiation. The light emits energy that warms the food without direct contact.
