cn u tell me da ans 4 da reason y convection currents occur in a liquid. dere ws a question lyk dat, but i dnt knw xactly wat.
shafayat

because convection is caused .. by acctual movement of molecules

eg :- the molecule having the energy moves

whereas in conduction the molecules transfer energy by vibrations

thats it .. the answer was lid stops convection...

convection here is that the hot steam is rising right ?
so if there is a lid it willl trap the steam and reduce convection ...

umm... my question is regardin a question in da paper

hey listen !! if ur not clear ...
think about the vacuum flask... n think how lid stops convection there !! den u will knw

my question ws regardin da other question abt convection. one of da options ws da molecules of a liquid xpand. another option ws da liquid xpands. wt ws ur ans 2 dat?

ohh that one was the speed of molecule increases

dude that wasnt convection ... it was about pressure

k, so wat ws da ans?

my answr 2 dat question abt the convection was tht molecules in liquids expand
there was one more about the pivot with 10 N acting on the top one towaards the rite and the othr towards the left
i ticked the option saying anticlockwise..is it correct?
because i noticed tht the force applied distance was far from the piston...so further away fr mthe piston easier 2 push? am i correct?....hope u undrstood my point..! :D
