Solution
κ = G*/R Where κ is the conductivity of the solution G* is the cell constant and G* =
l is the distance between the electrodes and
A is the area of cross-section of the electrodes. R is the resistance of the solution
The electrical conductivity of a solution of an electrolyte is directly proportional to distance between the electrodes and inversely proportional to the area of the electrode. It is inversely proportional to the resistance of the solution between the electrodes.
