What type of heat transfer is used to fry an egg in a pan and how can you tell?

AIt is conduction because the egg gets cooked.
BIt is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.
CIt is convection because you put oil in a frying pan to cook in it.
DIt is convection because you can feel the heat a few inches away from the pan.

Verified Answer :

the answer would be B. its is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which transfer of heat occurring when one object touches another object is known as conduction.  

For example, when a pan is heated and then an egg is placed over the pan. Then there will be transfer of heat from pan towards the egg.

As a result, the egg gets cooked because the egg was touching the pan.

Hence, we can conclude that it is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.
