Heat

1 The diagram shows an experiment to investigate transfer of heat using three conductors. Each rod is heated until the thumb tack drops. The time taken for the thumb tack to drop is recorded.

The diagram shows a hanging cardboard spiral.

The diagram shows a heat transfer system in a building.

When a lighted candle is placed under the cardboard spiral, it spins because

the candle displaces heat by radiation heat from the candle is conducted upwards the cardboard spiral becomes lighter when the air is hot the hot air under the cardboard spiral experiences convection PMR 2005

Which of the following activities uses the same principle as the above diagram?

Paper 2 1. (a) Mercury expands (b) Metal K and metal L expand by different amounts on heating (c) (i)

(ii) During a fire the brass expands more than the iron, and so the bimetallic strip bends inwards and completes the electric circuit to sound the fire alarm (d) The tight metal cap will expand (e) (i) During cold weather the electric cable will snap

(ii) Electric cable will contract during cold weather
