Define specific conductance. Give its relation with specific resustance
Answers
Answer:
Specific conductance is also referred as conductivity. Higher the concentrations of dissolved salts in water the more the conductivity. It is measured in “Siemens per meter”. It is said to be the reciprocal of resistance.
Explanation:

Specific Conductance:-
Specific Conductance is the ability of a substance to conduct electricity. It is the reciprocal of specific resistance. Conductance means the flow of current through the liquid conductor. Specific conductance is defined as the conducting capacity of a solution of the dissolved electrolyte and the whole solution is being placed between two electrodes are 1 sq. cm and length 1 cm.
Some Information about Specific Conductance
It is denoted by (Kappa).
It is the reciprocal of resistivity(⍴).
It is also known as Conductivity.
Ohm’s Law states that the resistance of any substance is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area.
It's relation with specific Resistance:-
Resistance of the conductor depends on its length and is “inversely proportional to its cross sectional area”. Its unit is ohm. The material’s resistance also depends on its nature and temperature.
P= specific resistance, l= length of conductor, A= cross sectional area
