When an electric kettle is switched on it will take a few minutes to heat the water how does the element at the bottom of the kettle heat all of the water?
As water at the bottom is heated, it rises and cold water replaces it. That's heated and the cycle continues until all the water is at the same temperature.
Do you clean the inside of a kettle?
All I ever do is every now and then rinse out with some vinegar and water. This is just to remove hard water buildup though. The heat from the kettle will kill all germs.
What method of heat transfer does a kettle use?
The water which is hot rises to the top, and the cold water goes to the bottom to be heated. The heat transfers to the water, hence, making it hot. Then the hot water rises and the cold water goes down, then the heat transfers to the water and it carries on till all the water is fully heated.
How is all of the water in a kettle can be the same temperature even if the kettle is heated only from the bottom?
the kettle is made from iron. Matter passes through and that's why the water is the same temperature as the bottom of the kettle.
Why is kettle not 100 percent efficient?
There are many factors that affect the loss of energy:1 the resistance of the wire2 the kettle will keep most heat in but not all heat within the kettle so more energy is lost3 the water will evaporate out the top and that is also a cause. (they can't close it off otherwise the pressure would build and it would explode).
How is all of the water in a tea kettle can be the same temperature even if the kettle is heated only from the bottom?

When you take heat from water it turns into?
Boiling water will produce steam (water vapour). Eventually, if boiled long enough, all the water will have evaporated, with the risk of the bottom of the pan or kettle melting.
What does Saturn a lizard and a steaming kettle have in common?
they are all made up of atoms , because all of them have heat inside them and heat has atoms!
What is thermal efficiency of a kettle?

What metal is the heating element in a kettle?
It's basically the same as the glow wires in a toaster, or the filament in an incandescent light bulb. When a current is passed through the element, the resistance makes the element heat up.Another AnswerWhen an electric current passes through the heating element, it does work on the heating element, water, and the kettle itself. This causes the internal energy of the element, water, and kettle to rise, and this is accompanied by an increase in temperature. When the temperature exceeds that of the surroundings, some energy is lost to the surroundings through heat transfer. The equation that describes this is:W - Q = [m c (T2 - T1)]water +[m c (T2 - T1)]kettleWhere:W = work done (joules)Q = heat transfer (joules)m = mass (kilograms)c = specific heat capacity (joules per kilogram kelvin)T2 = final temperature (kelvin)T1 = initial temperature (kelvin)
What was in the Kettle Polly put on?
Well, the rhyme says, Polly put the kettle on, we'll all have tea, so there would have been water in the kettle.
How does a ketell boill?
A Kettle boils due to electricity heating a coil or metal base at the bottom of the the kettle, giving off heat to the water, the warm water rises replaced with cooler water which gets hot and so on until the kettle has boiled.Steven Kettell is an Associate Professor in Politics and International Studies at The university of Warwick, UK and he boils when when you blankly suggest all forms of socialist ideology are paradoxical and could never operate successfully.
