Figure shows a capillary tube `C` dipped in a liquid that wets it. The liquid rises to a point `A`. If we blow air through the horizontal tube `H`, what will happen to the liquid column in the capillary tube?

A

Level will rise above `A`

B

Level will fall below `A`

C

Level will remain at `A`

D

It is difficult to predict

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The air through the horizontal tube will decrease the pressure and more liquid will be pushed into the capillary tube.
