2.

How does radiation heat travel

a)

Convection currents in air

3.

What heat transfer do panel radiators rely on to produce most of there heat output

a)

Convection

b)

Conduction

c)

Radiation

d)

Solar

4.

What form of heat transfer does underfloor heating rely on to heat a room

a)

Solar

b)

Conduction

c)

Convectional heat

d)

Radiant heat

5.

How does convectional heat transfer work

a)

Convection occurs because: when molecules are heated they melt and rise; when they cool they fall

b)

Convection occurs because: when molecules are heated they heat and rise; when they cool they fall

c)

Convection occurs because: when molecules are heated they heat and fall; when they cool they rise

d)

Convection occurs because: when molecules are heated they cool and rise; when they heat they fall

6.

How does conduction heat work

a)

Conduction happens when heat travels through or along air – (one molecule to the next).

b)

Conduction happens when heat travels through a vacuum – (one molecule to the next).

c)

Conduction happens when heat travels through space – (one molecule to the next).

d)

Conduction happens when heat travels through or along a material – (one molecule to the next).
