Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary cause of the phenomenon known as capillarity?
  • Step 1: Understand what capillarity is. It is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces.
  • Step 2: Learn about adhesion. Adhesion is the attraction between the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of a solid surface.
  • Step 3: Recognize that when a liquid comes into contact with a solid, the adhesive forces can pull the liquid up into the narrow space.
  • Step 4: Realize that this upward movement of the liquid is what we observe as capillarity.
