Examples of 'capillary forces' in a sentence

Meaning of "capillary forces"

Capillary forces, also known as capillary action or capillarity, refer to the movement of liquids within narrow tubes or porous materials due to the combination of adhesive and cohesive forces. It is responsible for phenomena such as water rising in a straw or liquid being drawn into a sponge
