A hot plate is an adjustable heating source which is ideal for heating beakers, erlenmeyer flasks, hot water baths, and other flat-bottomed containers. It is essentially an electric stove top that is used in the laboratory.
The temperature is adjustable (usually on a scale of 0 to 10) and there is very often a built in spinning magnetic stirrer (to be used in combination with a magnetic star bar) so that you can efficiently stir a solution while heating it. Some have computer controllers to maintain the temperature at an exact level (for instance when using a water or oil bath).
A hot plate or heating mantle should always be used in place of a Bunsen burner or other open-flame source to heat a flammable liquid.

It is a metal plate that is often plugged into an outlet. It heats up substances. Put the substance in a vial and carefully set it on the hot plate. Be careful, it is hot!
A hot plate is a 1 or 2 burner electric cook top that is used on top of the counter instead of a regular stove.
a hot plate is a flat surface that can be heated to heat materials,glass containers that hold liquids,and in general just to heat things found in a lab.
It can burn you, also its a good idea if you want to keep food warm
Supposedly to keep food warm ... but many are used for cooking.
It's pretty much the same as a hot plate in cooking--it's a thing you set a container on and plug in to heat up the contents of the container.

The evaporating dish would not be harmed if it was heated on a hot plate, but it should be heated on a bunsen burner.
This particular hot plate is a common piece of laboratory equipment used for mixing solutions in the laboratory. It has a slow spinning magnetic field generated in the hot plate and this spins a plastic coated magnet placed inside the solution being heated. Turn the hot plate on, place the beaker with the solution on the hot plate. Place the magnet in the solution, adjust the temperature and speed of the magnet with dials on the front of the hot plate. This hot plate does not get hot enough usually for cooking.

this may be either a gas powered Bunsen burner or an electric hot plate
This is not a question. There are many different types of hot plates with magnetic stirrers. They are used in physics for many different things when conducting experiments such as melting ice or warming things up.
There are a number of circumstances when a hot plate would be used. Cooking is one of these. Hot plates are also extensively used in chemistry laboratories.
Hot spots can be used to track plate movements.
