Q15.An electric immersion heater is used to heat the water in a domestic hot water tank.When the immersion heater is switched on the water at the bottom of the tank gets hot.

 

(a)     Complete the following sentence.

The main way the energy is transferred through the copper wall of the water tank is

by the process of ________________________________________ .(1)

(b)     The immersion heater has a thermostat to control the water temperature.

When the temperature of the water inside the tank reaches 58°C the thermostat switches the heater off. The thermostat switches the heater back on when the temperature of the water falls to 50°C.

Graph A shows how the temperature of the water inside a hot water tank changes with time. The tank is not insulated.
