Question

When one end of the fine capillary which is open at both ends is immersed in water, water would completely fill in it. It is due to:
  1. surface tension which pulls the water into the capillary
  2. the surface tension which is great enough to overcome the attraction of gravity in water in fine capillary
  3. both A and B
  4. dielectric constant is very high

A
