Understanding Convection: The Transfer of Thermal Energy in Liquids and Gases

The video explores thermal energy transfer in fluids, focusing on convection. It explains how convection currents form due to temperature differences, causing less dense, warmer fluids to rise and cooler, denser fluids to sink. The video illustrates this with examples in gases and liquids, highlighting the role of particle movement and density changes in creating convection currents.

What role does temperature play in the movement of particles in a gas?

How does a convection current operate in a room with a radiator?

How can convection currents be observed in liquids?
