Transfer of thermal energy — practice question

An electrical heater stands on the floor of a house room, and it is switched on.
(a)[1]

State the principal process by which thermal energy moves to the air throughout the room.

(b(i))[4]

Calculate the time required for this heater to increase the temperature of the air in the room from $8.0^{\circ}$C to $15.0^{\circ}$C.

(b(ii))[2]

State two reasons why the time found in (b)(i) is less than the actual time needed to raise the temperature of the air in the room from $8.0^{\circ}$C to $15.0^{\circ}$C.
