Question
Which statement is incorrect about capillary action?
Explanation
Capillary rise (h = 2Scosθ/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.
