Science Notes(what happens when you increase the size of the capillary tube)

What will happen if you increase the size of the capillary tube?

Scientific principles have the knack of explaining abnormal events that occur around us. A liquid, like water, ascending up a narrow tube naturally is not considered as a typical occurrence. Since, water and other liquids in general flows with the gravitational forces, it requires specific circumstances and physical effect to flow against the forces of gravity. This scientific phenomenon is called capillary action. The transportation of water from the roots to leaves of the tree happens due to the underlying principles of cohesion and transpiration.

Practical use of capillary action is evident in all forms of our daily lives. It makes performing our tasks efficiently and effectively.
