JEE Main & Advanced Physics Fluid Mechanics, Surface Tension & Viscosity / द्रव यांत्रिकी, भूतल तनाव और चिपचिपापन Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :               The water rises higher in a capillary tube of small diameter than in the capillary tube of large diameter. Reason         :           Height through which liquid rises in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the diameter of the capillary tube.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The height of capillary rise is inversely proportional to radius (or diameter) of capillary tube i.e.\[h\propto \frac{1}{r}\] So for smaller r the value of h is higher.
