Question

The unit of cell constant is ___________.

Answer 1

The unit of cell constant is ${\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$ or ${\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$.

Cell Constant

• Cell constant depends upon the distance between the electrodes $\left(l\right)$ and the area of cross-section $\left(A\right)$.
• The dimension for cell constant is ${\mathrm{Length}}^{-1}$.
• Length can either be expressed as ${\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$ or ${\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$.
• Therefore, the unit of cell constant can be ${\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$ or ${\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$.
