Why is the refill of a marker pen used to write on a whiteboard made of fibers?
(N/A) The ink must move against the force of gravity while writing with such a pen on a whiteboard. In a fiber refill,the ink moves due to the capillary phenomenon within the fiber-made capillaries. This allows the ink to flow continuously,enabling smooth writing on the board.
