• Definition of conductivity.
AEI 305.66 2
Definition
• It is denoted by
AEI 305.66 3
Conductivity
• For solutions, the conductivity of an electrolyte is a
measure of the ability of solution to carry electric current.
• Electrical conductivity is entirely due to the movement of
ions as shown in fig.1 below.
• Thus in a cell, the potential across the cell is the
movement of positive ions or negative ions in the cell.
