1 The diagram shows an experiment to investigate transfer of heat using three
conductors. Each rod is heated until the thumb tack drops. The time taken for the
thumb tack to drop is recorded.

2 The diagram shows a hanging cardboard spiral.
hen a lighted candle is placed under the cardboard spiral* it spins because
& the candle displaces heat b% radiation
" heat from the candle is conducted upwards
( the cardboard spiral becomes lighter when the air is hot
) the hot air under the cardboard spiral experiences convection
