Text Solution

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} ...
