MCQ
Can we boil water inside the earth satellite by convection
- AYes
- ✓No
- CNothing can be said
- DIn complete information is given
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
No
b
(b) No, In convection the hot liquid at the bottom becomes lighter and hence it rises up. In this way the base of the convection is the difference in weight and upthrust. In the state of weightlessness this difference does not occur, so convection is not possible.
