Water rises to height h in capillary tub...

Water rises to height `h` in capillary tube. If the length of capillary tube above the surface of water is made less than `h` then

A

Water rises upto the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing

B

Water rises upto a point a little below the top and stays there

C

Water does not rise at all

D

Water rises upto the tip of capillary tube and then starts overflowing like fountain

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As height of water column `gt` length of capillary tube `rarr` so liquid will stay there.
