Provided the paper is kept just below the flash point, it will not burst into flames. It will become charred and powdery. The metal rod? I assume a metal tube? keeps the paper away from direct heat or a naked flame.

Why paper around the wooden rod catches fire but not the paper around the metal rod?

The wooden rod can conduct heat more easily than the metal rod, allowing the paper near it to reach its ignition temperature faster. The metal rod has higher thermal conductivity, so it draws heat away from the paper more rapidly, preventing it from reaching the ignition temperature.


Wrap a thin paper strip tightly around an iron rod . try to burn the paper with candle while rotating the iron rod continuously . does it burn .explain your observation?

If you introduce the rod with the round strips into the flame of a candle, the paper will not catch fire. The fire will lick the paper but not burn down until the iron rod becomes hot. This is because iron rod just like any other metal is a good conductor of heat, it leads away the heat obtained by paper from the candle flames. Replace the iron rod by a wooden stick and paper will burn because wood is a poor conductor of heat. With copper rod the experiment is more successful.


Is burnt paper reversible or irreversible?

Irreversible,because when paper is burnt it is fully destroyed.

Will a charged polythene rod repel or attract paper?

A charged polythene rod will attract paper. When the rod is charged, it develops an electric field that exerts a force on the charged particles in the paper, causing the paper to be attracted to the rod.


What results when metal is burnt in oxygen?

Simple metal oxide.


What happens if a perspex rod is rubbed to a piece of paper instead of a polythene rod?

Rubbing a perspex rod against a piece of paper will likely transfer some electrons from the perspex to the paper, causing the perspex rod to become positively charged and the paper to become negatively charged. This can create an electrostatic attraction between the rod and the paper.


What are the similarities of paper clip and carbon rod?

paper clip is a metal which is ductile, malleable, luster, conductor, hard, opaque, and denser than other elements. carbon rod is a nonmetal which is brittle, insulator, and dull.


Why do negatively charged rod attacks metal?

A negatively charged rod can attract metal due to the phenomenon of electrostatic induction. When the rod approaches a neutral metal object, the negative charges in the metal repel, causing a redistribution of charges within the metal. This results in a positive charge accumulating on the side closest to the rod, creating an attractive force between the negatively charged rod and the positively charged side of the metal object. Thus, the rod appears to "attack" or attract the metal.


How do you put a metal rod into a hole in a metal cylinder but its too tight Do you heat the rod and cool the cylinder or cool the rod and heat the cylinder?

You should heat the metal cylinder and cool the metal rod. Heating the cylinder will cause it to expand, making it easier to insert the rod. Cooling the rod will cause it to contract, allowing it to fit into the hole more easily.
