A saucepan has a base made of copper but a handle made of plastic. Why is copper used for the base of the saucepan?
- Because it is a good conductor and spreads heat quickly through the base.
- Because it is a poor conductor and keeps the base cool.
- Because it reflects heat instead of absorbing it.
- Because it allows convection currents to form in the metal.
