When a pot of water sits on a hot stove the metal is He did and then transferred into heat to the world of student claims that conduction is the only type feet transfer occurring which statement explains why the students idea is incorrect

Hello your question is poorly written hence I will just give the difference between conduction and convection

answer :

Conduction occurs when there is direct contact between solids and source of heat. while convection occurs when there is transfer of thermal energy due to movement of liquid or gas

Explanation:

when a pot of water is placed on a hot stove the pot is heated through conduction because the metal pot is in direct conduct with the heat from the stove ( which is the primary source of heat in this scenerio ).

while the heat transfer from the hot pot to the water is executed through convection this is because heat transfer via convection requires the movement of liquid or gas.  as the warmer liquid moves over to the top the cooler liquid goes below inside the pot that way the whole liquid becomes warm .

pretty sure it's false
