A tester is used to check the conduction of electricity through two liquids,
labelled 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.
When the free ends of a tester are dipped into a solution, the magnetic
needle shows deflection. Can you explain the reason?
Fill in the blanks.
(a) Most liquids that conduct electricity are solutions of ,
______________ and ______________.
(b) The passage of an electric current through a solution causes
______________ effects.
(c) If you pass current through copper sulphate solution, copper gets
deposited on the plate connected to the terminal of the
battery.
(d) The process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another
material by means of electricity is called .
