The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the unit of cell constant, we can break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cell Constant**: The cell constant (denoted as \( k \)) is defined as the ratio of the distance between the two electrodes (length) to the area of cross-section of the electrodes. 2. **Formula for Cell Constant**: The formula for cell constant can be expressed as: \[ k = \frac{L}{A} \] where: - \( L \) = distance between the electrodes (length) - \( A \) = area of cross-section of the electrodes 3. **Units of Length**: The distance \( L \) is measured in meters (m), which is the SI unit for length. 4. **Units of Area**: The area \( A \) is measured in square meters (m²), which is the SI unit for area. 5. **Calculating the Unit of Cell Constant**: Now, substituting the units into the formula for cell constant: \[ \text{Unit of } k = \frac{\text{Unit of } L}{\text{Unit of } A} = \frac{m}{m^2} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ \text{Unit of } k = m^{-1} \] 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the unit of cell constant is indeed \( m^{-1} \), confirming that the statement given in the question is true.
