Q5. A tester is used to check the conduction of electricity through two liquids, labelled A and B. It is found that the bulb of the tester glows brightly for liquid A while it glows very dimly for liquid B. You would conclude that

(i) liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.
(ii) liquid B is a better conductor than liquid A.
(iii) both liquids are equally conducting.
(iv) conducting properties of liquid cannot be compared in this manner.

(i) liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.

The brightness of the bulb depends on the current flowing through it which in turn depends on the conductivity of the liquid. Since the brightness of the bulb is more in case of liquid A we conclude liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.
