Question

If you lift the glass tumbler (Which is placed over a burning candle) to 1cm height what happens? Why?

Answer 1

When we will be doing so a suction will be created thus leading to a pull in the air around it

Answer 2

Explanation:

If we will lift the glass tumbler which is placed over a burning candle to 1cm height,the oxygen needed for combustion will reduce, thus the candle stops burning when we cover the candle with a glass tumbler. Fire requires oxygen to burn and it uses all the oxygen in the glass tumbler and is extinguished when the tumbler covers the candle. The candle will thus blow off, due to absence of oxygen in the closed glass tumbler.
