Faraday tells them about various laws of nature, with which the burning of a candle is associated.
The book will give genuine pleasure to the student, and the teacher, and the student, and the physicist. Faraday, who studied the processes in the field of physics, wrote: "Phenomena observed during the burning of the candle are such that there is not a single law of nature that would not be affected in one way or another. The consideration of physical phenomena occurring during the burning of the candle is the widest path that can be approached by the study of natural science. "
