Question

Why are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?

Answer 1

We are able to sip hot tea coffee or milk from a saucer rather than cup because,

• Saucer has a large surface area than cup as rate of evaporation increases with an increase in surface area
• Rate of evaporation and surface area are proportional to each other.
• So the evaporation is faster due to which the hot tea or milk cools rapidly.
