Question 5

A tester is used to check the conduction of electricity through two liquids, labeled 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.

Answer

(i) Liquid A is better conductor than liquid B

The amount of electric current flowing through a conducting solution always depends on the conductor of the solution. More current can pass through the solution with more conductivity and vice versa. So, the conductivity of liquid A is more than liquid B.
