K.C.S.E Physics Q & A - MODEL 2013PP1QN07

Figure 3 shows a piece of wood fitted into a copper pipe and a piece of paper wrapped tightly around the junction.

It is observed that when a flame is applied around the paper at the junction, the side of the paper around the wood burns first. Explain this observation.

answer

Wood is a poor conductor of heat: hence heat is used to burn paper, while most heat is conducted away by copper: hence paper takes long to burn.
