Capillarity is a physical phenomenonin which liquids flow without the help of gravity. Liquids even rise to a height against gravity, through narrow tubes.Capillary action is due to thephenomenon of Surface tension ofliquid as well as adhesive forces between liquid molecules and molecules of the narrowtube.

the rise or fall of a liquid in a capillary tube when inserted in a beaker is called capillarity.
capillarity depends upon the angle of contact i.e the angle made by the liquid with tube at the point of contact.
expression
h=2t/rdg.r is radius of meniscus
h=2tcos(angle of contact)/Rdg where R is radius of tube
