How does oil reach the cotton wick in diyas?

Answers

Answered by sarthaksharma0803

Answer:

The cotton wick we dip in the groundnut oil in the lamp absorbs the oil due to the force of adhesion. The oil molecules stay together in the lamp because of the forces of cohesion. When we light the oil lamp, the oil is continuously supplied to the wick by the action of capillarity.
