Question

Abida and Ramesh were doing an experiment in which water was to be heated in a beaker. Abida kept the beaker near the wick in the yellow part of the candle flame. Ramesh kept the beaker in the outermost part of the flame. Whose water will get heated in a shorter time?

Short Answer

Solution

The water in Ramesh's beaker will heat up faster because he placed the beaker on the outermost part of the flame, which is the hottest part of the flame.

Abida placed it near the yellow part of the flame, which is less hot than the blue flame. Therefore, the water in Ramesh's beaker will heat up faster than the water in Abida's beaker.
