JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3ec179

Choose the correct statement(s) about a conductivity cell and the conductivity of a solution.

  1. AThe cell constant depends only on the geometry of the electrodes and not on the solution placed in the cell
  2. BThe conductivity of a solution is numerically equal to the conductance of a cube of the solution held between electrodes of area placed apart
  3. CIn SI units conductivity is expressed in , and
  4. DThe cell constant of a given cell increases when the solution in it is diluted

Answer: A, B, C

is fixed by electrode separation and area, so (A) is correct and (D) is wrong: dilution changes and but not their product . With and , , so (B) is correct. , so (C) is correct.
