Short Answer Type Questions

1. A circular metal loop is heated at point O as shown in Figure 4.6.
   

   

   
   (i) In which direction would heat flow in the loop?
   (ii) In which order the pins at points P,Q and R fixed with the help of wax fall if points O, P, Q and R are equidistant from each other?
2. In the arrangements A and B shown in Figure 4.7, pins P and Q are fixed to a metal loop and an iron rod with the help of wax. In which case are both the pins likely to fall at different times? Explain.
