I think you mean what is generally called a heating pad. A heating pad is a fairly thin (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick) about 1 foot x 2 feet pad that has wires inside used to heat it electrically. It's used to put on sore muscles to get relief.

What allows a laptop touch pad to only work with touch of a personnot a pencil?

A laptop touch-pad is equipped with a heat pad, so your finger radiates heat which makes the computer respond. A pencil does not emit heat so the touch-pad has no input to go off of. This is the same with touchscreen devices, lowing the possibility of a pencil accidentally hitting buttons.etc


What type of heat transfer is an electric heat pad?

An electric heat pad primarily uses conduction to transfer heat from the pad to the body. It produces heat through electrical resistance in wires or an element inside the pad, which then warms the surface that comes into direct contact with the body.


What would be more expensive a heat lamp or a heat pad?

It depends on where you get it and what company manufactures it. For hermit crabs or amphibians, I suggest a heat lamp, maybe WITH a heating pad. But if you have a lizard like an anole, you should definitely get both.
