Give reason for :-
1. Stainless steel cooking pan is fitted with copper bottom.
2. Two layers of cloth used to cover the body retain body heat better than a single layer of cloth having double the thickness.
3. We can hold our fingers beside the candle without harm but not above the flame.

Dear student
1)
Copper has better thermal conductivity than stainless steel. Therefore, they can contain more heat and the container will be hot.
Copper is also more expensive than stainless steel. Therefore, it is a smart move to just have the base coated with copper and not the entire vessel. Only the bottom of the vessel is exposed to the flame of the fire.


Please post other queries in separate thread.
