Two capillary tubes of different diameters are dipped in water. The rise of water is
Options
- Athe same in both tubes
- Bgreater in the tube of larger diameter
- Cgreater in the tube of smaller diameter
- Dindependent of the diameter of the tube
Correct answer
C. greater in the tube of smaller diameter
Step-by-step solution
Height of water in capillary tube gathered h= 2 T r d g h 1 r gathered where h is height of the liquid and r is radius of tube so we can say that the rise of water is greater in the tube of smaller diameter.
