Question
identify the type of heat transfer in the picture with the proper explanation the heater warms the room as indicated in the picture above due to a conduction c radiation b convection
The image shows a circular air current: air near the heater heats up, becomes less dense, rises (red section), cools as it moves away, becomes denser, and sinks (blue section) to be reheated. This circular movement of a fluid (air) transferring heat is convection. Conduction requires direct contact between materials, and radiation is heat transfer via electromagnetic waves without a medium, neither matching the shown current.
