Capillary rise in water refers to the phenomenon where water rises in a thin tube (capillary) due to the adhesive force between the water molecules and the tube's surface being stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules themselves. This effect is a result of surface tension and occurs because of the interaction between the liquid and the surface of the tube, leading to the formation of a meniscus that curves upwards. • Key Points: • #Capillary rise is observed in thin tubes or porous materials. • #It is driven by adhesive and cohesive forces. • #Surface tension plays a crucial role in capillary action. • #The height of the capillary rise is influenced by the diameter of the tube and the properties of the liquid. • #Capillary action is essential in various natural and industrial processes, such as plant water transport and ink flow in pens.
