Give reasons.
Paper by itself catches fire easily whereas a piece of paper wrapped around an aluminium pipe does not.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Paper catches fire easily, but when it is wrapped around an aluminium pipe, the ignition temperature is not reached, because heat given to the paper is passed on to aluminium pipe which lowers the temperature of the paper wrapped around it. That is why, paper does not catch fire.
