alleryWhy is a steel saucepan often fitted with a plastic handle?
AHigh thermal conductivity
BLow melting temperature
CLow thermal conductivity
DHigh electrical conductivity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Low thermal conductivity
Plastic is a poor heat conductor, so it reduces conduction from the hot pan to the hand.
