If an ordinary glass tube and a glass capillary tube are both dipped in a beaker of water, water rises in
A. Both
B. Only the glass tube
C. Only the capillary tube
D. Neither
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The rise or fall of liquid due to capillarity in a beaker of water depends upon the radius of the bore of the tube (s) which is/are dipped into it. The narrower the bore of the tube, the greater is the rise or fall of the liquid in the tube. So in this case, water will rise in both the glass tube and the glass capillary tube.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Physics
