Lower levels of light are what causes the dimmer switch to heat up. The extra electricity that is not being used when the light is lowered is sent to the circuitry of the dimmer switch. The heating up is normal.

What happens to the brightness of the bulb When you put a dimmer switch in your series circuit and turn it up?
I'm not sure what you mean by turning a dimmer switch "up".-- When the dimming action of the device is turned 'up', the bulbbecomes more dim, that is, less bright.-- The dimmer may have an arrow printed on its control, labeled 'brighter'.In that case, when you turn the control in the direction of the arrow,the light becomes brighter, i.e. less dim.

Why do different materials heat up at different rate?
usually metals or conductors get the heat energy from the heat. the heat transfer the particles in the conductors which causes it to heat up in a faster rate to get it hot.
How does lifting by heat cause air to rise?
Heat speeds up molecules, this causes the particles to rise
Does air conduct heat?
The convection of the air causes the particles to heat up. In other words, the heated particles hit the air particles, causing the air particles to heat up. So it doesn't "conduct" heat rather that the air heats up from a heat source.

No. Going out of the manufactures recommended rating is not recommended. The dimmer will build up heat,that the heat sinks can not dissipate. The additional heat will eventually destroy the device.
