Does area affect a candels burning rate?
The area of a candle itself would not normally affect the burning rate of the candle, but the area and transport rate of the candle wick could affect these properties. When in use, mot candles burn at the upper end of their wicks, to which the liquefied material of the candle is transported through its wick to bring the liquefied material into optimal contact with oxygen from the air. If a wick is extra large and/or transports the liquefied substance of the candle with more speed than average, the candle would burn faster.
Which source of energy does a candle use?
A candle primarily uses chemical energy stored in the wax. When the candle is lit, the heat from the flame melts the wax, which is then drawn up the wick and vaporized, releasing heat and light energy in the process.

When you use a match to light a candle, the match head contains stored chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy when it's ignited. This thermal energy then transfers to the candle's wick, causing the wax to melt and vaporize, generating heat and light energy as the candle burns.
What can you do with the rest of the wax that does not finish burning and the wick is no more?
Creat another candle. There are small cheep candle making kits that are easy and work extremely well. Use all the extra candle wax, it's a prosess of melting, pouring into a mold, and drying
