Question

Which statement is incorrect about capillary action?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Capillary rise (h = 2Scos⁡θ/ρgr) is inversely proportional to radius, not directly proportional. The incorrect statement is that height increases with tube radius. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Height increases with radius. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
