Why is AC current used instead of DC in measuring the electrolytic conductance?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If we apply DC current through the conductivity cell, it will lead to the electrolysis of the solution taken in the cell. So, AC current is used for this measurement to prevent electrolysis.
