Three different electrolytes A, B and Care connected in separate circuits.
Electrolytic cell A contains sodium chloride solution. When the circuit is
completed a bulb in the circuit glows brightly. Electrolytic cell B contains acetic
acid solution, and in this case the bulb in the circuit glows dimly. The electrolytic
cell C contains sugar solution and the bulb does not glow. Give a reason for each of
these observations.
