When you put the switch on, the electricity goes thought the wires heating the melt prongs, which heats the kettle and the water. When you put the switch on, the electricity goes thought the wires heating the melt prongs, which heats the kettle and the water.

∙ 12y agoAn electric kettle is made up of several vital parts. The holder to hold the water, a heating element and a insulating rim.
First electricity from the mains, heats up a heating element in the base of your kettle. This is conduction.
There is a metal plate at the bottom of the container. This is in contact with heating element in the base. The heat in the element conducts the metal plate, causing it to heat up. This is again conduction.
When the plate begins to heat up, it warms the water inside the kettle. This is convection. This cycle continues until the water has reach its wanted temperature (which is usually 100 degrees). When the water becomes hotter enough it will begin to conduct the rim of the kettle. Aswell it will let of radiation ( this can be tested if you put your hand near your kettle and can feel warmth).

Wiki User
∙ 13y agobecause there is a heater in the kettle that heats up the water and then the water rises because of convection

What is the advantages of elements?
they heat up water in your kettle
Why does it a take a full kettle of water to boil longer than a half full kettle?
The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.
How do you turn ice into steam?
Heat it.... The heat will first convert ice into water and will then convert it into steam. You can heat ice in any kettle.....or saucepan.......
What device heats up cold water at home?
The boiler will heat up the water that comes out of the tap or is used in the radiators. Also the kettle will heat up cold water to make a cup of coffee or tea
What is thermal efficiency of a kettle?
There are many factors that affect the loss of energy:1 the resistance of the wire2 the kettle will keep most heat in but not all heat within the kettle so more energy is lost3 the water will evaporate out the top and that is also a cause. (they can't close it off otherwise the pressure would build and it would explode).
What is the wasted energy for a kettle?
By the fact that the kettle is hot. The heat energy is also warming the metal of the kettle. By the fact that the water boils to steam,; loss of water to steam. The energy should only heat the water to boiling point, and not heat the kettle nor allow the water to boil off.
Is it safe to heat oil with a usual water kettle?
No, it is not safe to heat oil with the usual water kettle since oil is highly inflammable.
What causes the water to evaporate?
What causes the water to evaporate? For me, heat causes the water to evaporate, like the boiling water in the kettle. When it boils you can see moist on the top of the kettle. So the heat causes the water to evaporate. =D
What is happening inside the kettle with water?
If you put heat under the kettle, the water eventually boils. If it's an electric kettle, you plug it in and switch on the electricity.
What ones hotter a cup of tea or water from the kettle?
If the water in the cup came from the kettle, it will be cooler than the water that remains in the kettle. Since the water in the cup is more exposed to the air than the kettle it will lose heat to evaporation more quickly than the water in the kettle will. The cup will also conduct heat way from the water until the water and the cup are the same temperature, whereas the kettle is already as hot as the water it contains.
What is the function of kettle?
To heat up water *facepalm*

Why does a kettle have 800 watts?
Assuming you got that number off an electric kettle it is because that is how much power is needed to heat the water. The number of watts actually measure how much energy the kettle is designed to use. Water is very hard to heat compared to other liquids(or to cool). So it takes a lot of watts to get the kettle to heat the water.
What is a hot water pot?
A hot pot is a kettle used in dorms to heat water, and to heat soups
Is water heated from water vapour?
NO. Water vapour is created by heating water e.g. when you heat a kettle steam floats out of the top of the kettle, that's water vapour.
What is the function electric kettle?
To heat up water *facepalm*
How does a kettle filament heat all the water?
The filament or element gets hot and passes it's heat into the water.
