Covection is one of the three methods of heat transfer, others are conduction and radiation.

Steps of convection of heat are:

(i) Molecules of medium gains energy,

(ii) This gain in energy makes them more vibrating thus the distance between molecules increases making the local volume of medium more lighter i.e. less denser.

(iii) this volume being less denser is displaced by the volume of medium which is denser (i.e. cooler).

(iv) Thus the heat is transferred in form of medium itself from hot to cool area.

THIS IS CONVECTION.

How is heat transferred through kettle walls.'?

Heat is transferred through kettle walls primarily by conduction. When the kettle is heated on a stove, the heat from the flame is transferred to the bottom of the kettle through conduction. This heat is then transferred to the rest of the kettle through the metal walls by conduction as well.


Three ways by which heat is transferred?

Heat can be transferred through conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between materials; convection, where heat is transferred through the movement of fluids or gases; and radiation, where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves without the need for a medium.


What is heat energy that is transferred by particles or waves called?

Particles is one thing, waves is something else. Heat transferred by the motion of particles can be conduction or convection. Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves is radiation.


In which way does heat travel?

Heat can travel through conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact of molecules. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of fluids such as air or water. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.


3 examples of heat moving by conduction in your home?

When you touch a metal spoon that has been placed in a hot pot of soup, heat is transferred from the pot to the spoon through conduction. When you turn on a burner on your stovetop and the heat is transferred from the burner to the bottom of a pot through conduction. When you lean against a warm radiator in your home and the heat is transferred from the radiator to your body through conduction.
