उत्तर
- When you wrap a thin paper strip tightly around an iron rod and try to burn it with a candle while rotating the rod continuously, the paper does not burn.
- This is because the iron rod absorbs and conducts away the heat from the candle flame, preventing the paper from reaching its ignition temperature.
- The continuous rotation ensures that no single part of the paper is exposed to the flame long enough to catch fire.

Take two similar transparent glass bottles having wide mouths. Put a few crystals of potassium permanganate or pour a few drops of ink in one bottle. Fill this bottle with hot water. Fill the other bottle with cold water. Cover the cold water bottle with a thick piece of paper such as a postcard. Press the postcard firmly with one hand and hold the bottle with the other hand.
