Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect Cell constant: The quantity l/A is called cell constant denoted by the symbol, G*.
It depends on- Distance between the electrodes. Area of cross-sections.
The cell constant is determined by measuring the resistance of the cell containing a solution whose conductivity is already known. ex : KCl solutions so, G* is determined by using KCl solution since its conductivity is known accurately at various concentrations and at different temperatures.
