A chair is several feet from a fireplace. The side of the chair facing the fireplace gets warm due to

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

What happens when ice cubes melt in a glass?

• Heat travels from the ice to the warmer water.
• No energy is transferred.
• Heat is transferred from the warmer water to the ice cubes.
• The water warms up due to the humidity

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

• An insulator allows electricity to flow through it easily and a conductor does not
• A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily and an insulator does not.

The plastic covering is there to:

• Provide a conductor for electrical energy to flow.
• Provide an insulator so that electrical energy will not pass outside of the wires.
• Provide a conductor so that electrical energy can NOT flow.
• Provide an insulator so that electrical energy can flow.
