How To Do It
Know More About It?

Principle: The ability of a liquid to flow through a narrow surface without any assistance is called Capillary Action.


The capillary action is responsible for the water moving up the paper towel. It’s also the process that plants use to pull water up from the ground through their roots. Plants use capillary action to absorb water and minerals from the soil. Also when you light a Diya the oil rises up the wick due to capillary action.
