Question

What are the different ways Heat can transfer? What type of heat transfer do microwaves use, how about a steam cooker?

What is a conductor (both Thermal and Electrically)? What about an insulator?

What is a super conductor? How would a room temperature super conductor change the world we live in? (answer to second part is: It would greatly reduce the amount of electrical energy we need to power our devices. This means that devices could be made smaller, faster, and consume a lot less power)

What are the two types of current? What is different about the flow of electrons? (think of our class demonstration)

What phenomena is responsible for how generators and motors work?

Light, electromagnetic wave, photons, radiation, all refer to the same phenomena and are synonyms.

A changing magnetic field creates an electric field and a changing electric field creates a magnetic field.

Explanation / Answer

in accordance with chegg policy I am answering the first four parts kindly ask rest as separate questions.

1.)Heat can be transferred from one place to another by three methods: conduction in solids, convection of fluids (liquids or gases), and radiation through anything that will allow radiation to pass

2.)Microwaves use radiation:Microwave radiation, produced by microwave ovens, transfers energy through short, high-frequency waves. When these microwaves are absorbed by foods, they cause the food molecules to vibrate faster, creating heat.

Steam cooker uses conection: Convection occurs by the movement of air, liquid, or steam around the food

3)A conductor is a substance that conducts for a substance to be an electrical conductor it needs to conduct electricity by letting the flow of electron (and holes) and for thermal conductor the flow of heat is required, these parameters are measured using properties like conductivity .

4) Insulators are substances that do not conduct they have poor thermal or electrical conductivity
