Question
Explain the working of an ink dropper.
✓
Answer
An ink dropper consists of a tube of glass or plastic, with one end tapering to a narrow opening and the other end fitted with a small rubber bulb. When the narrow open end is dipped into the ink and the rubber bulb is pressed, some air in the tube escapes through the open end. This reduces the air pressure inside the dropper.
On releasing the bulb, the atmospheric pressure on the ink pushes the ink into the dropper. The dropper is then taken out and its open end is held over the open barrel of the pen. The bulb is then pressed so that the ink in the dropper enters the pen.
