What is the process of passing heat from one material to anther?

The process of passing heat from one material to another is called heat transfer. This can occur through conduction (direct contact between materials), convection (movement of fluids), or radiation (emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves). Heat always flows from a higher temperature material to a lower temperature material until equilibrium is reached.


What Material that heat flows easily?

Metals such as copper and aluminum are good conductors of heat and allow heat to flow easily through them. They are often used in cooking pans and heat sinks to efficiently transfer heat.


What is the process by which a pot of water on the electric stove starts of heat?

When an electric stove is turned on, electricity flows through a coil or element, which generates heat due to resistance in the material. This heat is then transferred to the pot through direct contact, causing the water inside to heat up.


Difference between porosity and permeability?

Porosity is the amount of void space in a rock or other earth material (like a sand deposit) - in other words, it´s how much water a material can hold. Permeability refers to how well water flows through a material - that´s controlled by how large the pores are, and how well connected they are.


What happens to a nichrome wire when a current flows through it?

When a current flows through a nichrome wire, the wire heats up due to resistance. This increase in temperature causes the wire to glow and emit heat, which is why nichrome wire is often used in heating elements and appliances.

What does an electric current act like when it flows through a wire?

it depends on the frequency of the current in question. the higher the frequency, the less depth in the cross-section the current flows. this is termed skin depth.


How well electricity flows through a material?

Depends on the material. The electricity can flow through metal better then it can through wood because wood is a conductor of electricity (example).


What are two ways that heat flows within the earth?

Heat flows within the Earth through conduction, which is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself, and convection, which involves the movement of heat through the circulation of fluids or gases.


The amount of water that flows through a pipe does not depend on?

what type of material the pipe is made out of.


How is clean fresh water produced in nature?

if the water flows through a material such as sand, the impurities get trapped and the water passes through.


What flows from atom to atom to make electricity?

In metals, electricity flows through the movement of free electrons from atom to atom. These electrons can move easily through the material, creating an electric current.


What keeps electricy in the light bulb in a lamp?

Electricity flows through a light bulb and does not stay in it. Electric current is flowing electrons that has energy. When the electricity flows through some material, the properties of the material resists the flow. This causes the material to heat up and if it is thin and of the right type of material, it will glow. Think of it as a water pipe. When the pipe gets thinner, the water pressure builds up.


Does liquid magma flows upward through the crust because it is less dense than the solid material around it?

yes


What is a suitable material for an electromagnet?

A suitable material for an electromagnet is a ferromagnetic material like iron, nickel, or cobalt. These materials can be easily magnetized and retain their magnetic properties when a current flows through the electromagnet's coil.


What is the measure of how electricity flows through material?

The measure of how electricity flows through a material is called electrical conductivity. It is determined by the material's ability to conduct electricity, based on its atomic structure and presence of free electrons. Materials with high electrical conductivity, such as metals, allow electric current to flow easily, while insulating materials have low electrical conductivity and inhibit the flow of electricity.


What is a river that flows through a desert?

The Nile River flows through the Sahara and the Rio Grande flows through the Chihuahuan Desert.
