Application of surface tension - capillary rise for NEET Physics

A quick, NEET-focused explanation of this topic from the Properties of Solids and Liquids chapter of Physics.

What Is Application of surface tension - capillary rise?

Capillary rise is the phenomenon where liquid rises in a narrow tube due to surface tension and adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube.

Key Points to Remember in Application of surface tension - capillary rise

The height of the liquid column can be calculated using the formula h = 2T/(ρgr), where T is surface tension, ρ is density, g is acceleration due to gravity, and r is the radius of the tube.
