Which are examples of convection currents ? select three options.
marshmallows toasting over a campfire
a pot being heated by an electric burner
rice moving in a pot of water that is being heated
a radiator that emits warm air and draws in cool air
a hot air balloon rising and falling in the atmosphere

Answer:

(B) A pot being heated by an electric burner

(D) A radiator that emits warm air and draws in cool air

(E) A hot air balloon rising and falling in the atmosphere

These are some of the examples of the convection currents.

Explanation:

Earlier, electrons were believed to have positive charges and then electric current were discovered. But later after the invention of electric current and current which is termed to be the flow of electrons and is usually flows from negative to positive terminal. But its convention is not discarded in which current moves from positive terminal to negative and it is called convention current. The direction of current shown in the circuit is said to be the convention current.

Hence, the following are the examples of convention current.

1.  Boiling water - The energy travels into the pot from the burner, boiling down the water. Then this warm water is accumulating on the top and colder one is heading down to absorb it, triggering a circular motion.

2. Radiator - Place hot air at the peak and pull cool air at the bottom.

3. Hot air balloon - The air is warmed up by a heating element within the balloon, so the air jumps upwards. This induces the balloon to increase in size due to the inside trapping of the warm air. He removes a few of the warm air when the pilot commences to dive, and cold air takes place, enabling the parachute to drop.
