That is called a stove knob or burner knob. It allows you to adjust the heat level of the stove burner from low to medium heat settings.
Heat is transferred from the burner to the pan primarily through conduction. The burner heats up due to electric resistance, and this heat energy is transferred directly to the bottom of the pan, causing its temperature to rise.
When a stove is boiling water, electrical energy from the stove is being transformed into thermal energy as the stove heats the water. The thermal energy then causes the water to boil and turn into steam.
This is an example of conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between the burner and the pan. The burner heats the bottom of the pan, which in turn heats the food inside.
The heat energy from the stove, which in turn comes from the burning of the chemical energy in the gas that is burning, or from the electrical energy, depending on the type of stove.

To cook on a two-burner gas stove start cooking on high heat over one burner and simultaneously turn on a second, empty, burner to a lower temperature.This will help you to cook different types of food and avoid them burning the food.

When using an electric stove burner, it is important to follow these safety precautions: Keep flammable items away from the stove. Turn off the burner when not in use. Use oven mitts or pot holders to handle hot pots and pans. Keep children and pets away from the stove. Clean up spills to prevent fires. Never leave the stove unattended while cooking. Make sure the stove is turned off before leaving the kitchen.

To regulate the burner flame on a stove, adjust the gas flow using the burner control knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the flame size and counterclockwise to decrease it. Monitor the flame as you make adjustments to ensure it is at the desired level for cooking.
You can, but it will shatter when you turn on the burner! We found that out the hard way, twice - just to be sure.
A stove is a device that converts chemical energy (from fuel like gas or wood) into thermal energy through combustion. The thermal energy generated heats up the stove elements or burners, which in turn transfer the heat to cookware or food placed on them.
Sounds like you have a faulty switch in that burner knob.
