Step-by-step process showing how liquid level changes during heating in a container

Step-by-step process showing how liquid level changes during heating in a container

The map in words

  • Initial → Heat: Temperature increases
  • Heat → Container: Container expands first
  • Container → Initial: Level drops from A to B
  • Heat → Liquid: Liquid expands
  • Liquid → Final: Level rises from B to C
  • AC = Apparent, BC = Real
