Examples for latent heat

Dear student, 
Latent heat is absorbed or given out whenever there is a change in phase. 
Examples for latent heat is when water is boiled  it absorbs latent heat of vaporisation and changes to vapour. 
Similarly ice changes to liquid water by absorbing latent heat of fusion.

Boiling water on a stove occurs when thermal energy from the heating element is transferred to the pot and in turn to the water. When enough energy is supplied, liquid water expands to form water vapor and the water boils. An enormous amount of energy is released when water boils. Because water has such a high heat of vaporization, it's easy to get burned by steam.
