What happens when steel wool is burned?
When steel wool is burned, the iron in the steel reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust) and heat. The heat generated accelerates the reaction, causing the steel wool to rapidly glow and disintegrate into small pieces. As a result, you will see sparks and potentially some flames as the steel wool burns.

How does a 9-volt battery catch steel wool on fire?
Electricity is energy. Energy can be different things. We have movement as an energy, kinetic energy that is. Then there is, amongst others heat, as an energy. Electricity must be in a circuit to work. When putting the 9volt battery in the steel wool you make a circuit. Then the electricity will flow through the steel wool. When the electricity is not being used by anything (no light bulbs or anything), it is being converted to heat energy. Steel wool burns easily, so the heat will easily ignite the steel wool.
