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.

Can both the upper and the lower elements of a hot-water tank be on at the same time?

When I put the meter on the lower element it didn't budge. Might I have a defective lower thermostat? What might be preventing the voltage to reach the lowere heating element?
