Hey mate,
Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules.
Dependency of height
The rise of the liquid is proportional to
Surface tension.
Angle of contact.
It is inversely proportional to
Radius of capillary
Density of the liquid.
Acceleration due to gravity.
