Pure water is not a very good conductor of electricity as water is a covalent compound.So to increase its conductivity sulphuric acid(H2SO4) are added जि as it is a strong acid and its complete ionisation takes place. ie
H2SO4--------------->2H+ + SO4- -
These ions helps in conduction of electricity.
