All stove flames are hotter than you would expect any pan to normally be so there is a temperature gradient between the flame and the pan. Heat is transferred from the hot gasses of the flame to the pan by two mechanisms: convective heat transfer and radiant heat transfer. Note that the hotter the flame, the more significant the radiant heat transfer becomes.

When a metal pan is heated on the stove this is an example of heat transferred by what?

This is an example of heat transfer through conduction. The heat from the stove is transferred directly to the metal pan through physical contact, causing the molecules in the pan to vibrate, which in turn increases the pan's temperature.


Why does a cold pan heat up when it is placed on a hot stove?

Because the pan and the stove is the same temp. and when the stove is heated it transfers through the pan and makes the pan hot.

Why does a pan sitting on top of a HOT stove get hot?

The pan gets hot on a hot stove because of conduction, which is the transfer of heat energy from the stove to the pan through direct contact. The stove's heat causes the molecules in the pan to vibrate and create thermal energy, increasing the pan's temperature.


Why is the pot heated on a stove which process causes the metal handle of the pot to also become hot?

The heat from the stove is transferred to the pot, causing the metal to get hot. Since the metal handle is connected to the pot, heat is also transferred to the handle through conduction, making it hot as well.
