Thermal conduction in water

Principle

A container with water is usually heated from the bottom. Due to its smaller density, the warmer water rises to the top creating a thermal current which steadily heats up the total amount of water.

To demonstrate the thermal conduction, the heating current has to be eliminated. Therefore, an only the water surface is heated while measuring the water temperature in the top and bottom of the container.
