Answer 1

it can be used as an electric heater

cooking of food in metal utensils

etc.

Answer 2

Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the movement of heat from one solid to another one that has different temperature when they are touching each other.

A heat exchanger uses a hot fluid to conduct heat to a cooler fluid without the two touching.

If you touch a hot stove, heat will be conducted to your finger and your skin will burn.

If you are cold and someone holds you to warm you, the heat is being conducted from their body to yours.

Heat will transfer from a hot burner on the stove into a pot or pan.

An ice cube will soon melt if you hold it in your hand. The heat is being conducted from your hand into the ice cube.
