Heat Flow

Direction: Read the given experiment and answer the following question. Paper pins are stuck to a metal rod with wax and a lighted candle is kept below the rod as shown in the diagram below.

What does this experiment illustrate?

• Wax melts easily.

• The candle flame conducts heat.

• The thumbtacks expand when heated.

• Heat gets transferred from hot part of a body to cold part.

A student took an iron rod and a wooden rod and wrapped each of them in a piece of paper. These were then heated as shown. It was found that the paper around the iron rod does not burn whereas the one around the wooden rod catches fire. It is because :

• Candle, in case of iron rod, is nearer to the paper

• Wood being a bad conductor of heat, takes away all the heat

• Iron being a good conductor of heat, conducts away the heat given to the paper

• Paper, in first case, is thicker.

In an experiment shown in figure, the water near the top of the tube starts boiling but the wax in the test tube does not melt completely. What do you conclude?

• Convection cannot occur in water.

• Water is a poor conductor of heat.

• Wax is a bad radiator of heat.

• Heat is not reaching at the bottom of the test tube as tube is made of insulator.
