What is CAPILLARY EFFECT?
This is defined as the process of movement of liquid (like water) along the surface a solid (like paper towel). The liquid travels in the upward direction, which is against the direction of gravity. The tiny fibers in the paper towel act as capillary tubes which helps to pull the water in upward direction from the bottom. This is because the water molecules attach themselves to the tissue fibers.
Let’s due this science experiment and check it out ourselves.
