In a functional siphon, water rushes from the reservoir to the siphon because ______ .
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A the pressure in siphon is lower than the atmospheric pressure
Siphon is a device/tube which allows a liquid to flow through it without any use of a pump. A low pressure is created by the suction effect of a part of liquid flowing under gravity and due to that, liquid rushes from the reservoir to the tube. A fluid always flows from high pressure to low pressure and it continues to do so unless equilibrium is established.
