Question:

We cannot measure the resistance of an ionic solution using DC because:

Show Hint

When measuring resistance in ionic solutions, alternating current (AC) is preferred as it prevents electrolysis and changes in solution composition.

  • it changes the composition of the solution \hspace{1cm}
  • it can cause sparks and shocks
  • it does not affect the composition of the solution \hspace{1cm}
  • it converts electrolytic cell to galvanic cell

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

When using direct current (DC) in ionic solutions, electrolysis occurs, which leads to the decomposition of the solution into its ions. This changes the composition of the solution, making it difficult to accurately measure resistance.
