This is normal. Average braking causes friction which causes heat but, excessive heat from one rotor could be caused by a sticky or stuck brake caliper.

What causes a tap from the brakes when applying?
Most common cause is imperfection in rotor or rotor's. Rust or hot spots.
Why is the front rotor very hot?
Friction. The brake pads clamping on the rotor creates friction which creates heat.
Why front disk breaks get hot?
They get hot because of friction between the rotor (the disk part or the brake system), and the brake pads. (the pads that clamp on the rotor to create friction to slow the vehicle.
What causes the lugnuts on a 2009 Chrysler Sebring 2.4 to get hot before and after disc pad replacement?
The friction between the brake pad and rotor produces heat. That heat will make the lugnuts hot.The friction between the brake pad and rotor produces heat. That heat will make the lugnuts hot.
Reason for hot going into distributor and no fire to plugs?
bad cap or rotor first thing to check
What is rotor warped mean?
When your rotor warpes it means that it has a wobble in it! From factory they come straight. they usually get warped when they get to hot or a rock gets up there and bends it. If it is really bad it could cause totall break loss!
Why are my new brake pads getting hot?
Brake pads normally yet hot under normal use. The brake pads will get excessively hot if they are not adjusted properly. The wrong brake pads can be too thick and might be rubbing on the rotor.
What is a turbine barring gear?
When a large turbine rotor stops it will still be hot and will tend to bend in the middle if left to cool normally. To prevent this the barring gear will turn the rotor slightly at given intervals during the cool down period.
What would cause your car to smoke from the tire?
There could be several reasons such as, you forgot to release the e-brake and drove the vehicle with the e-brake on, or a grease seal went bad and grease is getting onto the hot brake drum or brake rotor, or brake fluid from a leaky wheel cylinder or caliper is getting onto the hot brake drum or brake rotor.
How do you remove stuck front rotor on a 2003 Grand Caravan when hammering doesn't work?
You have to heat up the contact points the rotor around the studs with MAP gas then try hit it but if that doesent work then you need a torch (MAP and oxgen) to get it red hot.
Why will the rotor of a wound-rotor motor not turn if the rotor circuit is left open with no resistance connected to it?
Because there is no current flowing in the rotor, and thus there is no magnetic field in the rotor, and thus there is no torque between the rotor and the field.
How do you measure the thickness of a rotor?
