Water rises to height ' ' in a capillary tube. If the length of capillary tube above the surface of the water is made less than , then:

1. water does not rise at all.
2. water rises up to the tip of capillary tube and then starts overflowing like a fountain.
3. water rises up to the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing.
4. water rises up to a point a little below the top and stays there.
