Why is the element at the bottom in a electric kettle?
It is not an element... for hard water usually a build up calcium compounds.
When an electric kettle is switched on it will take a few minutes to heat the water how does the element at the bottom of the kettle heat all of the water?
As water at the bottom is heated, it rises and cold water replaces it. That's heated and the cycle continues until all the water is at the same temperature.
How is all of the water in a kettle can be the same temperature even if the kettle is heated only from the bottom?
the kettle is made from iron. Matter passes through and that's why the water is the same temperature as the bottom of the kettle.
Why is The heating element in a kettle is at the bottom explain why this is best place?
If the heating element was at the top and the kettle was not full, then you would not be able to heat water because the element would not be in the water. Thus the only place for the element is at the bottom. However, hot water is also less heavy than cold water, this means that heated water rises to the top and having the element at the bottom means that the water being heated is circulated and this is more efficient.

How does all of a kettle of water boil when it is heated from the bottom?
Kettles have an element at the bottom, which is heated up by the electric current connnected to it. As the current flows through the plug and the connection, the element becomes extremely hot and disperses the heat throughout the water, at this stage you see tiny bubbles rising from the element. After a minute or so, the water reaches boiling point, starts to agitate, and the steam comes out of the spout of the kettle. If you have a whistling kettle, this is when the steam is forced through a small hole, causing the whistling sound the kettle makes when the steam goes through it. Now you are ready to make that cup of tea.
What material is used to make the kettle heating element?
a kettle is made out of metal
Why is the heating element found at the bottom of the kettle?
Its found at the bottom of the kettle because its uses convection currents to heat it up. The heating element warms up the water at the bottom, and because when water is hot its less dense, so it will rise to the surface, cool, and sink down again to be warmed up. Its a repetitive cycle that will eventually not give the water time to cool down far enough to sink, which is how you get it to boil. Like a stove and a hot air balloon.
