Read the given passage and answer the questions number that follow : Molar conductivity increases with decrease in concentration. This is because the total volume, V, of solution containing one mole of electrolyte also increases. It has been found that decrease in K on dilution of a solution is more than compensated by increase in its volume. Physically, it means that at a given concentration, Am can be defined as the conductance of the electrolytic solution kept between the electrodes of a conductivity cell at unit distance but having area of cross-section large enough to accommodate sufficient volume of solution that contains one mole of the electrolyte. When concentration approaches zero, the molar conductivity is known as limiting molar conductivity and is represented by the symbol Lambda_(m) The variation in Am with concentration is different for strong and weak electrolytes. Why is meant by limiting molar conductivity ?

When concentration of the solution approaches zero, the molar conductivity is known as limiting molar conductivity.
