Question

A pressure cooker works based on Bernoulli's Principle.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Cooking in a pressure cooker - Pressure is created by boiling a liquid, such as water or broth, inside the closed pressure cooker. The trapped steam increases the internal pressure and allows the temperature to rise.

Whereas the pressure of air reduces when it moves fast. This principle was explained by a scientist named Bernoulli. Hence it is called Bernoulli's principle. It states that, as the speed of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. This principle says how the speed of a fluid relates to the pressure of the fluid.

So, the given statement is false.
