The Physics Behind Range-Top Cooking

Behind the use of range-top cooking devices there are many concepts that physics can explain. For example, heat is a major concept in this type of cooking. Heat is the amount of energy that is transferred from one body to another because of a difference in temperature. When heating an object, there is a raise in the internal energy, or thermal energy, of that object. This can be achieved by transferring energy from an object with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature. The way that thermal energy is transferred in the range-top cooking device is through conduction. This metho…
