Within the pot handle (solid) heat transfer is by conduction. Within a persons hand heat is transferred namely by conduction. Heat convection does occur by motion of the body fluids but it's slower.

When you grab the hot handle of a pot you can immediately feel the sensation of "hot".Heat conduction is the mechanism responsible for this fast transfer.

What produces conduction?

Conduction is simply a transfer of heat. Let's say we have a hot pan and a person's hand. The molecules of the pan are moving very quickly because the temperature is so high. When a person touches the pan, he or she is really touching the very fast moving molecules of the pan that are incredibly hot.


How does friction help us turn a door handle?

Friction between our hand and the door handle provides the grip needed to apply a rotational force when turning the handle, allowing us to overcome resistance and open or close the door. It helps transfer the force from our hand to the handle, enabling us to manipulate the door.

Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?

A metal spoon handle gets hot in soup because metal is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can easily transfer heat from the hot soup to the handle. On the other hand, plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not easily transfer heat from the soup to the handle of a plastic spoon. This is why a metal spoon handle will feel hotter to the touch compared to a plastic spoon handle when used in hot soup.
