Adhesive.
Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.
When the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.
Answer:
total current = 12.417 A
so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A
Explanation:
given data
toaster = 1140-W
blender = 270-W
lamp = 80-W
voltage = 120 V
solution
we know that current is express as
current = power ÷ voltage ......................1
here voltage is same in all three device
so
current by toaster is
I = 
I = 9.5 A
and
current by blender
I = 
I = 2.25 A
and
current by lamp is
I = 
I = 0.667 A
so here device in parallel so
total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A
total current = 12.417 A
so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A
Yes because if not people wouldn't understand how did you calculate electric field strength.
