Explain why evaporation causes the temperature of liquid X to decrease.
The induction heater has a coil of wire carrying a high-frequency alternating current (a.c.). The alternating current in the coil produces a current in the base of the iron beaker by electromagnetic induction. Explain how electromagnetic induction generates the current in the base of the iron beaker.
The current in the base of the iron beaker makes the base hot. The temperature of the liquid at point P just above the base rises. Explain, in terms of particles, why the density of liquid X decreases as its temperature increases.
The fall in density of the liquid at point P causes thermal energy to be transferred throughout liquid X. Explain how this happens.
