Is a metal saucepan a good insulator?
Yes. Metal is a good conductor of heat.
Are saucepan made out of wood or metal?
A saucepan has to have a metal body so that it can withstand the heat of the stove and not burn up, and the wooden handle allows you to pick it up without burning your hand (wood conducts heat much more poorly than metal does).
Why are the sides of the saucepan made out of steel?
So that the heat from the fire or hob that is underneath it can heat the object inside as metal is a conductor.
How does the wooden handle make using the saucepan safer?
The wooden pan do not hit faster and do not cont heat as metal does.
What the uses of good and bad conductors of heat with an example of each?
A good conductor of heat is metal as it has free electrons that can also carry Energy aswell as the partials themselves. This can be used for a radiator so the room can be heated. A bad conductor of heat is polystyrene. This can be used for plastic cups so the drink stay hot longer.
Why does a saucepan used in cooking has a low heat capacity?
i think the sauce pan used in cooking has a low heat capacity because as it is a solid the transfer of heat will be more quick through conduction(transfer of heat between two stationary objects). That's why it have a low heat capacity.
Why does saucepan need to be made from a good conductor?
-- The saucepan's job is to hold the food while the food heats. -- The job won't get done unless the heat can reach the food. -- The heat is outside the saucepan. -- The food is inside the saucepan. QED
How does water in a saucepan get hot?
Energy in the form of heat is transferred from the atoms in the saucepan to the water molecules.
Why do metal handles on a saucepan get hot even though its not touching the flame?
The handle of the saucepan would heat up when on the hob. It heats up due to the vibrating particles vibrating more as heat is added . the higher vibrating particles will now rub others whilst vibrating and heat them up so on son - until the particles are all hot and making the handle hot.
A hot saucepan is placed on a cold bench Heat will flow from the saucepan to the bench until?
study island the saucepan and bench are at the same temperature.
Why does heat stay in a black saucepan?
Yes
How is the energy transferred from the cooker to the liquid in the saucepan?
Conduction. The pan rests on the cooker top. Heat passes by direction conduction to the metal of the pan, and from the pan to the liquid.
