Question

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

• A. liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.
• B. liquid B is a better conductor than liquid A.
  
• C. both liquids are equally conducting.
• D. conducting properties of liquid cannot be compared in this manner.

Answer 1

The correct option is A liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.

Liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.
The conductivity of the solution determines the amount of current flowing through the solution. The greater the conductivity, the greater is the quantity of current passing through the solution and the lesser the conductivity, the quantity of current passing through will be correspondingly less. So, the conductivity of liquid A is more than the conductivity of liquid B.
