Principle & Working of U-Tube Manometer

AI Thread Summary
A U-tube manometer measures gas pressure by utilizing the height difference of liquid columns in a U-shaped tube. One side of the manometer is connected to the gas source, causing the liquid to move and create a measurable height difference. This height difference indicates the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. The principle relies on hydrostatic pressure and the balance of forces acting on the liquid. Understanding this device is essential for applications in various scientific and engineering fields.

Did you find a perfect answer to your "charging a capacitor" problem first?
 
yes,i referred to my friend..i got to know that..it was easy when he explained how it was charged practically and discharging also..but can u answer me this question,why its used and principle?
 
Hi there,

A U-tube manometer is used to measure gas pressure inside an environment. The environment connected to one side of the manometer will push the liquid down, forcing the other side to lift. From the height difference between the two sides, you can measure the pressure compared to atmospheric pressure (on that particuliar moment).

Cheers

Explain it under the "charging a capacitor" head then.

What is the context of your questoin? Is it for schoolwork? Are you supposed to turn in a write-up of how it works? Did you try searching about it at wikipedia.org?
