Wick in Lighting[edit | edit source]
A wick in lighting refers to an absorbent material that draws fuel up into a flame. It is most commonly associated with candles and oil lamps. The wick absorbs the fuel (usually a type of oil or wax) and draws it upwards. The heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid fuel, and the vapor then combusts in the presence of oxygen, sustaining the flame.
