Example 1 · difficulty 3/5
Why is an alternating-current source used when measuring the resistance of an ionic solution in a conductivity cell?
- A. It converts the electrolyte into an electronic conductor.
- B. It makes the cell constant independent of electrode geometry.
- C. It permanently deposits all cations and anions on the same electrode.
- D. It minimises electrolysis and electrode polarisation that would disturb the resistance measurement.
