Working mechanism of straws and siphon

AI Thread Summary
A siphon operates by utilizing gravity and differential pressure, where the exit end is lower than the liquid source, allowing liquid to flow continuously once air is removed from the pipe. The process involves gravity pulling the liquid down, which maintains the differential pressure necessary for flow. In contrast, a straw relies on creating a temporary vacuum by sucking, which generates a pressure difference that allows liquid to rise. When sucking stops, the pressure difference is lost, halting the flow of liquid. Understanding these mechanisms clarifies the distinct functioning of siphons and straws.

Homework Statement
What's the difference in the working mechanism between a straw and a siphon? Why do you only need to suck on the siphon once for continuous flow of the liquid whereas if you stop sucking on a straw then liquid stops flowing?
Relevant Equations
NA
Is it because for a siphon since the end where the liquid exits is lower than the container level so when the pipe is sucked all the air in the pipe is gone and so liquid moves due to differential pressure, and gravity pulls the liquid down, removing the air in the pipe as the liquid comes down, so this differential pressure is maintained so the liquid just keeps flowing down? Whereas for a straw when you stop sucking on the straw there is no longer a differential pressure to keep the liquid flowing?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
