Question 15 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

A stovetop burner on medium reaches 95°C. Which will also receive a flow of heat directly from the burner?

Answer
A
the surrounding air
B
a burner at the same temperature
C
a pan heated to 100°C
D
hotter water inside a pan

Explanation

Heat flows from a warmer object to a cooler one. The surrounding air is cooler than the 95°C burner, so it can receive heat from it. The burner at the same temperature has no net heat flow, while the 100°C pan and hotter water are warmer than the burner.
