Question

Ovens cook food by heating up coils which heats up the air inside the oven. Imagine placing cookie dough into an oven that only has coils in the middle of the oven on the bottom. Where would you want to place the cookie dough so that it cooks the slowest? Explain using your knowledge of convection.

Answer 1

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through a fluid (either a gas or a liquid). Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of moving particles of matter, and the transfer of thermal energy is called heat. Convection is one of three ways that thermal energy can be transferred (the other ways are conduction and thermal radiation). Thermal energy is always transferred from matter with a higher temperature to matter with a lower temperature
