Heat Transfer Quiz

Remember Heat is usually transferred in all three ways at once: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. We usually associate certain movements of heat one main method of heat transfer.

Conduction Convection Radiation 1. Which method of heat transfer is used to transfer most heat from the oven to the saucepan? Conduction Convection Radiation

Correct! Because the saucepan is a metal it conducts heat from the oven Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 2. Which method of heat transfer is associated with heating the air inside a hot air balloon? Conduction Convection Radiation

Correct! The air inside the balloon is heated up by convection currents. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 3. Which method of heat transfer enables the Sun’s heat to get to Earth? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! Radiation is the only method of heat transfer that needs no particles. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 4. Which method of heat transfer is mainly associated with creating the wind? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! The air is heated up by the sun causing convection currents. This movement is the wind. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 5. Which method of heat transfer mainly causes black t-shirts to get hot? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! The black t-shirt absorbs the radiated heat from the sun. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 6. Which method of heat transfer mainly causes Bunsen burner’s to remain hot after use? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! The Bunsen is made of metal so is a good conductor. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 7. Which is the main method of heat transfer allowing the water to be boiled in a kettle? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! The water in the kettle is heated by convection currents. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 8. Which is the main method of heat transfer turning a metal poker hot? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! The poker is made of metal so conducts the heat from the fire. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 9. Which method of heat transfer is mainly associated with a radiator heating a whole room? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! The radiator heats the air which travels round the room by convection. Next question

Conduction Convection Radiation 10. Which method of heat transfer is the main reason why metal objects feel cold? Conduction Convection Radiation

Try Again

Correct! The metal object conducts the heat away from our hand so it feels cold. How did you do?
