Does capillary action affect viscosity?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Capillary action basically is the tendency of the polar liquid to rise up into a certain narrow tube which is commonly called a capillary tube.
  2. Capillary action is responsible for raising the liquid in the capillary tube.
  3. Viscosity is the resistance to the flow of the liquid.
  4. So, we can conclude that the capillary action does indeed affect the viscosity.
