How Heat is produced

All matters are made up of tiny particles which are in constant motion. Their constant movement produces
energy. The sum of the energies from the moving molecules in an object is called thermal energy.
This thermal energy can be transferred to another object. The energy in transit is called heat. When heat
is absorbed, it turns into thermal energy. The energy from the movement of tiny particles will depend on how
much heat was absorbed. A higher average energy from movement of the particle also means a higher
temperature. Heat always moves from an object of high temperature to an object of lower temperature. Heat flow
will stop once the two objects are in the same temperature. Thermometer is used to measure heat.
Example:
When you dip a metal spoon in a cup of hot coffee, heat
from water is transferred to the spoon. The spoon absorbs
the heat, its tiny particles vibrate faster and increase their
energies.

Heat Transformation
Heat flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. The greater the temperature
difference the faster the heat flows from one object to another. Heat/thermal energy has many practical
applications, especially in everyday households: cooking, heating and cooling, and generating electricity all
depend on energy transformations that end by transferring heat energy. The processes of heat transfer are
Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.
Conduction is heat transfer directly from one matter to another. Examples are Heat from warm objects
melts ice and a hot mug transfer’s heat to hands. Metals are good conductors of heat. Materials that do not
conduct are called insulators.
Example:

An ice is placed into the hand of a man.

Over time, heat conducted from the man’s
hand to the ice will cause the ice to melt.

Convection is when air is heated the particles have more energy and move apart. When the hot air is
less dense than cool air – hot air rises.
Example:

Convection comes into play while boiling

water. What happens is that the cold
water at the bottom heats up from the
energy from the burner, and rises up. As
the hot water rises, the cold water rushes
in to replace it, which results in motion in
the circular fashion.
 Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. The Sun’s light and heat reach the
Earth’s surface through radiation. Sun’s radiation is absorbed or reflected when it hits the Earth’s surface. When
the heat touches the object’s particles move faster and become warm. Some common examples of Radiation
are Ultraviolet light from the sun, heat from a stove burner, visible light from a candle, x-rays from an x-ray
machine.
Example:

The heat that you feel when there is fire is

an example of radiation
