What kind of candle burns the fastest?
the one with the thickest wick.The flame from the candle melts the fuel (beeswax, tallow, cocoa butter, paraffin, or other hard waxy fat substance) which is then drawn up the candle wick and fed to the flame. The thicker the wick, the more fuel can be fed to the flame, making the flame bigger and hotter and using up the candle faster.
Why does a candle burn with a yellow flame?

Why does burning of candle produce flames and burning of coal cannot?
First of all we will have to know that what is a flame made up of,a flame is made at a point where fuel and oxygen combine,so in case of both candle and coal there is a fuel ie.wax in candle and coal is itself a fuel.................but if we just think till this much then even coal should produce flame but it doesn't go like this ,actually we are missing something ie. hydrogen(the main component in every flame producing substance).........if hydrogen is not there flame will not be produced .So wax has hydrogen atoms whereas coal doesn't because coal has been burnt before and hydrogen has been used.................that is why hydrogen containing waxy candle produces flames whereas already burnt coal just gives heat not flames. Hope this helps.
Why does the black soot formed?
A small stable flame of a candle has a lot less black smoke than a larger flickering flame. Air around the burning candle causes this to happen.
Why would the time to put a candle flame out vary on the size of beaker put over the candle?
Because a larger beaker has more air init than a smaller one, so the candle has more oxygen to feed the flame.

Why is the smaller diameter candle burns faster than bigger diameter candle?
candles burn as much wax as the wick can bring to the flame. It is typically a constant amount of wax being burned. Smaller diameter candles have less wax and therefor run out of wax to burn sooner.
Why is a candle flame seen?

How does electricity come from candle?
I can think of three ways whereby a candle could produce electricity: 1). Heat water with the flame. When the water boils, use the steam to spin a turbine mounted to an electrical generator. 2). Place the flame close by a photovoltaic cell, which can convert a part of the candle's heat and light to electrical energy. 3). Place a pinwheel behind the candle flame, attached to an electrical generator, and wait for someone to come along and blow out the flame.

Why does a candle burn faster outside than inside?
Increased air currents (wind) affect the flame. As it blows around, it heats a greater area of the upper portion of the candle wax and a larger area of the wax becomes molten and becomes vaporized by the heat of the flame.
