Statement I: Finer the capillary, greater is the height to which the liquid rises in the tube
Statement II: This is in accordance with the ascent formula.

A

Statement I is true, statement II is true and Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

D

Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to the ascent formula `h=(2Tcostheta)/(rrhog)implieshprop1/r`.
From the relation, radius is less, and the height to which the liquid rises will be greater.

The height to which a liquid will rise in a capillary tube is

When a liquid rises inside a capillary tube , the weight of the liquid in the tube is supported

When a liquid rises inside a capillary tube , the weight of the liquid in the tube is supported

The height upto which water will rise in a capillary tube will be:

IF the diameter of a capillary tube is doubled, then the height of the liquid that will rise is

Assertion : The water rises higher in a capillary tube of small diameter than in the capillary tube of large diameter. Reason : Height through which liquid rises in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the diameter of the capillary tube.
