capillary rise of water in a small diameter conduit is made possibly by cohesion, true or false?

1 answer

True. Capillary rise occurs in small diameter conduits (such as capillary tubes) due to the cohesive forces between water molecules. These cohesive forces allow the water to climb up the tube against gravity.
