General Science - Physics (Basics)
Which of the following is an example of convection in daily life?
AHeat from the Sun reaching the Earth
BHeat transfer through a metal spoon in hot tea
CWarm air rising from a heater
DTouching a hot pan and feeling the heat
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Identify types of heat transfer

    Heat transfer occurs via conduction, convection, or radiation.
  2. Step 2: Analyze each option

    Warm air rising is convection; heat through a metal spoon is conduction; heat from the Sun is radiation; touching a hot pan is conduction.
  3. Final Answer:

    Warm air rising from a heater → Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Heat transfer by convection = warm air rising ✅
Quick Trick: Convection involves heat transfer by fluid movement (air or liquid).
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing conduction (direct contact) with convection (fluid movement).
