because,the adhesive force of mercury in more compared to the cohesive force which acts on a capillary tube. that's why mercury falls in capillary tube
The rise around the edges is called the meniscus, like capillary action this is caused by the adhesion of the liquid molecules to the walls of the container. In a large bore tube like a test tube or graduated cylinder this pulls up the edge and creates a concave meniscus, in a smaller bore tube this actually pulls the liquid toward the top of the tube.

The narrower the bore of the tube ,the greater is the capillary action. For example :A sponge retains water (on being dipped in water)is due to capillary action.

The capillary tube is fixed in the Ostwalds viscometer is for passing the liquid.
excess superheat in a capillary tube systems means that there is ______ charge
The capillary tube is used on the inside of the refrigerators. It is a long copper tubing that is used as a thruster.
