Why are jar lids immersed in water for a few seconds?
Short answer: This is normally done when a lid is too tight to unscrew. Placing the lid in warm or hot water loosens the lid a little so someone can get to the contents of the jar easier. Long answer: Metal reacts to heat at a lower temperature than glass does. When a metal lid is placed in warm or hot water, the lid expands outwardly from its center. This will cause the lid to loosen its grip on the jar making it easier for a user to unscrew the lid. It's simple science and a neat trick.
Why does the cap on the jar is stuck but if you run it under hot water we can unscrew the metal cap?
Running the jar lid under hot water causes the metal to expand slightly, making it easier to unscrew. The heat helps to break the seal created by the contents of the jar, allowing you to open it more easily.

Why does placing a jar under warm running water help loosen the lid?
There are two ways that putting a jar under warm water helps loosen the lid. When heated, materials expand. So the air in the jar could expand, reducing any internal suction. Secondly, the metal cap could expand so as to not have as much friction with the rest of the jar.
