Homework Help: Burning Candle experiment

Posted by Sara on Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 11:11pm.

What is the role of the wick in the candle?

Is the role of the wick just to hold the flame of the candle?

More information would be appreciated, thanks.

Also, How does it help keep the candle lit? does it burn?
