Question

In which direction does the Heat flow when you hold a hot cup of tea in your hands?

Answer 1

The hot bulb also cannot transfer its heat to our hand by convection because the convection currents of air always carry heat in the upward direction (but our hand is held below the bulb). The hot electric bulb transfers its heat to our hand held below it by the process called radiation

Answer 2

conduction

You pour a cup of steaming tea from a teapot. Your teacup is warm to the touch. Somehow, heat was transferred from one object (the cup) to another (your hand) that it was touching. This is an example of conduction, one of three ways that heat can be transferred.
