An induction
cooktop is like a ceramic cooktop with different zones for placing pans and
pots of varying sizes consists of a tough heat-resistant glass-ceramic plate on
which the user places pots and pans that need to be heated that directly
underneath the plate, there is an electromagnetic coil of metal that is
electronically controlled and the main component who’s responsible for heating
the vessels kept above of the induction cooktop. Switching on the power supply
of the induction cooktop through an electric current passes through the coil
and the electric current passing through the coil produces a magnetic field in
all directions around the coil that includes directly above it where pots and
pans are placed. As the heat is generated, the magnetic field being produced
doesn’t produce any heat unless a third object like the cooking pan is
introduced into the mix.
Cooking pan
is made of a suitable material which is placed on the top of induction cooktop
and the magnetic field produced by the coil penetrates the metal of the pan to
fluctuate the magnetic field that causes an electric current to flow through
the material of the pan. The current induced on the surface of the pan is
called an eddy current and the difference from the electric current flowing
through wires as Foucault currents are loops of electric current that induced
in a metallic field due to a changing magnetic field on induction cooktop. The
current travels around the metallic structure of the pan dissipating of its
energy in the form of heat that raises the temperature of the pan placed on the
induction cooktop and cooks the food inside the pan by heat transfer through
conduction or convection. The advantages and drawbacks of induction cooktop are
very energy-efficient in the most of the energy to the cooking pan with minimal
loss of energy and a great quality to have in any electric appliance. Ipswich induction cooktop heat stuff up very quickly unlike regular stoves lose a great deal of
energy to their surroundings and pretty easy to clean, operate and safe to use
like any open flames like regular stoves.
Induction
cooktop use one of the odd quirks of electromagnetism that work putting a
certain material into a rapidly alternating magnetic field that the material
absorbs the energy and heats up. It causes the field creates electrical
currents inside the material and resistance of the material converts this
electrical energy into heat which is transferred to the food inside the pan. Underneath
the cooking area of an induction cooktop is a tight spiral of cables that
usually made of copper controlled pushes an alternating current through the
coil and changes the direction usually 20 to 30 times a second with the current
flow creates a magnetic field above the coil that alternates back and forth.
The magnetic field does the same putting the pan on the surface and the
magnetic field induces an electrical current in the metal base of the pan.
To
gently heat the food on the Ipswich induction cooktop pumps a lower current through the
coil and the cookware generates less heat to warms the food slower which is heat
the metal of the pan to conduct through the food.
