Warm anything, air or water will rise. Cold water is put at the bottom of the tank through a tube inside the tank. The water is heated and rises and is taken out of the top. The inside of the heater is open, it is just a hollow tube. That is why the hot water gets slowly colder, more cold water is being mixed with the hot in the tank.

When an electric kettle is switched on it will take a few minutes to heat the water how does the element at the bottom of the kettle heat all of the water?

As water at the bottom is heated, it rises and cold water replaces it. That's heated and the cycle continues until all the water is at the same temperature.


Cooling hot water can form .. that settle to the bottom of the water?

Cooling hot water can form sediment particles that settle to the bottom of the water. This can include minerals or impurities that were dissolved in the water when it was heated.


Why do heated fluids rise using the particle theory?

Heated fluids are less dense than their cooler counterparts. For example, water at 80 degrees F is less dense than water at 75 degrees F. Therefore, because it is less dense, it rises above the cooler fluid. This happens all the time when boiling water. The water at the bottom becomes more heated than the water at the top, and so rises to the top, moving the cooler water to the bottom of the pot, which then becomes heated and pushes the now cooler water that used to be on bottom back to the bottom, restarting the whole process. This is known as convection.


How is all of the water in a kettle can be the same temperature even if the kettle is heated only from the bottom?

the kettle is made from iron. Matter passes through and that's why the water is the same temperature as the bottom of the kettle.

What does a kettle look like inside?

Inside a kettle, you will typically find a heating element at the bottom surrounded by a metal or ceramic chamber where water is heated. There may also be a filter or scale filter to separate impurities from the water. The interior is generally smooth to facilitate cleaning and prevent residue buildup.


When we heat a water in a pan by which mode does most of the heat travel in water?

Most of the heat travels through convection in water when it is being heated in a pan. As the water is heated, the warmer water rises to the top of the pan while the cooler water sinks to the bottom, creating a convection current that helps to distribute the heat throughout the water.


What is radiatoin?

convection is when heat or energy enters water and goes through it. for example, when you are boiling water in a pot on a stove,the water at the bottom of the pot haets up first before the water on top because it's in closest contect with the heat,then that water at the bottom heats up and becomes light because hot thing are lighter then cold ones. the heated up water rises up to the top and the cold water which is heavy falls to the bottom and heats up aswell. this cerculation keeps going until the whole pot of water is heated. thereafter the pot of water boils.


What 3 examples of convection?

convection currents an example is a heat radiator...it radiates heat which warms the air. the air rises as its heated and cooler air takes its place then being heated by the radiator...this continues until the room is heated and so is a pot is on a stove and the water is boiling and the cold water is at the top and it goes to the bottom


How do you change fish water?

I gently syphon the water out from the bottom of the tank into a bucket, thereby removing the mulm and poo that have accumulated on the bottom of the tank. Then I use the dirty water to water pot plants etc. I top up the tank by syphoning water that I have heated and prepared with chlorine neutraliser back into the tank from the bucket.
