Question
Write scientific reason.
The bottom of some steel utensils used for cooking is copper.
Solution
- Copper is a better conductor of heat as compared to steel.
- Also, copper can conduct faster than steel.
- As a result, copper bottom gets heated faster than steel.
- This reduces the time for cooking as well as saves heat energy and fuel.
Hence, the bottom of some steel utensils used for cooking is copper.
