What is the energy transfer in an iron?
In heat.Because iron absorbs heat.
Does the top and bottom element heat at the same time on hot water heaters?
Only if they are controlled by the same thermostat. If there are two thermostats, they will operate independently.Funny I was under the impression with probe in water to determine temperature one would have used an AQUA Stat
The nuclear reaction that changes one element into another element is called a?
transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.
Is temperature the total gravitational potential energy of an element?
yes
What is the normal temperature for xenon?
The normal temperature is 20 deg C - irrespective of the element or compound under consideration.
What changes the state of an element or compound?
Temperature or pressure.
How is the gas thermostat different from the thermostat in iron?
A thermostat on the wall measures air temperature to control a gas or electric heating (or air conditioning) system.A thermostat in a clothes iron measures the temperature of the metal ironing plate to control the electrical heating element in the clothes iron.
What is the melting point of an element?
It is the temperature at which the element will change state from a solid into a liquid. Note that the temperature actually changes depending on pressure. When no pressure is given assume 1 atmosphere.
How incubator works?
Incubators are used in Biology, hospitals, and agriculture for hatching eggs. An incubator has a thermostat that is turned on to a specific temperature and when the temperature goes below the set temperature, the heating element comes on.
How does food affect phase changes?
a phase temperature is a shifting of an element from one form to anothwer
How many watts of electric heaters set on low?
The wattage of electric base board heaters does not change because the thermostat is set on low. The wattage is a fixed value on the heater because of its internal resistance element. The thermostat set on low shuts off at a lower temperature than a thermostat that is set on high. It is the time interval that governs the amount of heat that the heater produces when the thermostat calls for heat. Once the room heats up to the temperature that the thermostat is set at, the heater shuts off. The thermostat is just a temperature switch.
Where is the thermostat located on a 2005 Honda Element?
The thermostat on a 2005 Honda Element is located near the radiator where the hose meets the engine block. The cap and thermostat is all one piece.
What is a heat detector?
A heat detector is connected to a fire alarm system. It is designed to respond when the heat sensitive element has increased temperature due to a fire.
Why is radioactivity of an element unaffected by the usual factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions such as ordinary changes of temperature and condcentration?
because it is radiation and radiation can not be affected by temperature and/or concentration.
Does the element change when the atomic mass changes?
yes the element changes when the atomic mass changes
What element used in wires?
Copper is the cheapest and widely used element in wiring. Copper alloys are also used for the long run, increase flexibility and better handle of temperature changes.
What element measures temperature?
Any element can be used to measure temperature.
