Dissipation - the heat energy that is transferred to the tongs is dissipated from the tongs to the surrounding area in order for the temperature of the whole system to be at an equilibrium.

What causes the transfer of thermal energy?

Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.


What property of a substance does the change in temperature indicate?

Change in temperature directly indicates a change in the mean amount of kinetic energy possessed by each particle. It also indirectly indicates a possible change in state, and a possible change in chemical properties too (chemical reactions often involve energy transfer in the form of temperature change).


Is heat the transfer of thermal energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?

The heat transfer is possible by conduction, convection and radiation.

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of difference?

Heat is not the transfer of thermal energy. Heat is the thermal energy. What drives itacross a boundary between substances or objects is a difference in their temperatures.


Gas is burnt to cook a meal is it an energy conversion or an energy transfer?

How does it happen? If there's a chemical change, it's energy conversion, if it's a physical change, it's energy transfer.


What energy changes does a electrical heater have?

Electricity energy is converted into internal energy through work. As the internal energy of the heater increases so, too, does its temperature. Energy is then lost to the surroundings through heat transfer. The change in the heater's internal energy is the difference between the work done on the heater and the heat transfer away from it.
