AI Generated Solution

To answer the question "Why is AC used in place of DC in measuring the conductance of electrolytes?", we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Conductance**: - Conductance (κ) is defined as the reciprocal of resistance (R). The formula is given by: \[ κ = \frac{1}{R} ...
