A tester
is used to check the conduction of electricity through two liquids,
labelled A and B. It is found that the bulb of the tester glows
brightly for liquid A while it glows very dimly for liquid B. You
would conclude that
(i) liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.
(ii) liquid B is a better conductor than liquid A.
(iii) both liquids are equally conducting.
(iv) conducting properties of liquid cannot be compared in this
manner.

(i)
Liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.
The amount of current flowing through a conducting solution depends
on the conductivity of the solution. With more conductivity, more
current passes through the solution and vice-versa. Hence, the
conductivity of liquid A is more than the conductivity of liquid B.
