The factor responsible for lower mercury level in a capillary tube is

A

high density

B

surface tension

C

liquid state

D

viscosity resistance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In mercury , the cohension is greater than the adhesioin between mercury and glass , so that a depression in the liquid level actually occurs when a capillary tube is immersed into mercury.
