About This Product
A piece of paper is wrapped tightly around the central section so that it covers both the wood and the metal. The cylinder is then passed through a Bunsen burner flame for a few seconds, making sure both parts go through the flame. The copper conducts heat away so the paper over it hardly browns, while the wood is an insulator and the paper there is scorched.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is the Wood / Metal Cylinder demonstration carried out?
Wrap a piece of paper tightly around the central section, covering the wood and metal parts, then pass the cylinder through a Bunsen burner flame for a few seconds so that both parts go through the flame.
Q2. Why does the paper scorch only over the wood?
The metal part conducts heat away, so the paper hardly browns, but the wood is an insulator, so the paper covering it gets scorched.
