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

The ignition temperature of paper is less, so it catches fire easily. It does not catch fire when wrapped around aluminium pipe because aluminium absorbs the heat so paper does not attain its ignition temperature.
