When two capillary tubes of different diameters are dipped vertically, the rise of the liquid isA. zero in both the tubes.B. same in both the tubes.C. more in the tube of larger diameter.D. more in the tube of smaller diameter. |

Answer» Correct Answer - D The rise of water in a capillary tube is expressed as,`h=(2Tcostheta)/(rdg)` where, h = height of the capillary rise, T = surface tension, r = radius of the capillary tube, g = gravitational acceleration and d = density of the liquid Here, T, d and, g remain constant. So, `hprop1/r` The rise of water is more in the tube of smaller radius. |
