If you are provided with two tubes (A and B), where one is narrow and the other is relatively wider and if both are immersed in a beaker containing water as shown in the figure.

Why does B show higher water rise than A ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The tube B will show higher level than tube A because of the capillary action.
