उत्तर
Here is the observation and explanation for the given activity:
Observation: When you cut out the spiral from the paper and suspend it above a lighted candle, the spiral begins to rotate.
Explanation: The heat from the candle flame warms the air around it, causing it to rise. This rising warm air creates a convection current. When the paper spiral is placed above the candle, the rising warm air hits the spiral and causes it to spin. This is because the moving air applies a force to the spiral, making it rotate.
