capillary rise

Question

Height of capillary rise h is inversely proportional to:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

The height $h$ to which a liquid rises in a capillary tube is given by Jurin's Law:
$h = \frac{2 T \cos 	heta}{ho g r}$
where:
- $T$: Surface tension
- $	heta$: Angle of contact
- $ho$: Density of liquid
- $g$: Acceleration due to gravity
- $r$: Radius of the capillary tube 
From the formula, $h \propto 1/r$. A narrower tube result in a higher rise/depression.
