Define capillary tube?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Capillary tubes are very thin tubes made of a rigid material, such as plastic or glass in which a liquid flows up into the tubes against gravity in a process called capillary action.
  2. Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, any external forces like gravity.
