### Step-by-Step Text Solution: **Step 1: Define Conductivity** Conductivity (κ) is defined as the ability of an electrolytic solution to conduct electric current. It is the total conductance provided by the electrolytic solution present between two electrode plates. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \kappa = \frac{G \cdot d}{A} \] ...
