Heat is normally transferred to specific areas by means of a 'heat sink' which is usually made of a material with low resistance and high transfer of heat. An example of this can be seen in most computers, the heat sink collects the heat from the processor, and there is (usually) a fan which is near or on the heatsink to remove it from the heat sink, effectively lowering the temperature of the processor.

What is it called when electricity is tranferred into the ground?
Earthing
Does heat move from areas of high temperatures to areas of low temperatures?
Yes
How is heat carried from areas of energy surplus to areas of energy deficit?
hello omg
Why do inland areas have more extreme temperatures ranges then coastal areas?
Inland areas have a greater temperature range because water has a high specific heat. Basically, coastal areas heat and cool slowly because it takes a long time for the water to heat up and cool down (due to it having such a large specific heat).
What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
Heat is tranferred by conduction when?
Conduction is tranferred by 2 object touching or getting close to eachother
Heat can be tranferred by?
conduction convection and radation
How do you transfer heat energy?
heat can be tranferred through, conduction, convection or radiation
Is heat tranferred to human body during x raywhich form of heat transfer it is?
radiation
Body heat tranferred to the air by what?
The body transfer heat to air by a heat transfer method called radiation.
If heat energy is tranferred away from an object what will the object feel?
radiation
How do you transfer energy?
heat can be tranferred through, conduction, convection or radiation
How much heat energy is tranferred to hot water?
The specific heat of water is 4,186 J/g.K.
How is energy tranferred between objects?
they have to go throw the atoms and then they go out throw the heat
When heat tranfers by conduction?
Conduction is tranferred by 2 object touching or getting close to eachother
Why does metal heat up fast?
Because it is a heat conductor and have a greater heat capacity
How is heat from inside the earth tranferred to its crust?
Through heated rocks (commonly known as lava) in the mantle which rise to the surface gradually.
