Water in a closed tube (see fig) is heated with one arm vertically placed above a lamp. Water will begin to circulate along the tube in counter-clockwise direction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When water is heated at end A, the density decreases and the water moves up. This is compensated by the movement of water from B to A i.e., in clockwise direction.
