Question
Define conductivity for the solution of an electrolyte.
Advertisements
Solution
It is the inverse of resistance R and may be simply defined as the speed through which current flows in a conductor.
c = `1/R = A/(pl)`
k = `A/l`
Here k is the specific conductance. The SI unit of conductance is Siemens, which is denoted by the symbol ‘S’ and is equal to ohm−1 or Ω−1.
