On a chilly afternoon, you decide to use a portable electric heater to warm the air. Describe the heat transfer processes that occur.

What will be an ideal response?


The electrical heater converts electrical work into heat by increasing
the temperature of the heating elements. They radiate heat to the air, and
most heaters have a fan blowing air over the heating elements, so heat is
transferred by convection to the air.
