Why is alternating current used for measuring resistance of an electrolytic solution?

Options

  1. AAlternating current is more efficient in heating the solution, making resistance measurements easier.
  2. BAlternating current minimizes the formation of bubbles in the solution, leading to more accurate resistance me
  3. CAlternating current reduces the risk of electrochemical reactions in the solution.
  4. DAlternating current is used to prevent electrolysis so that concentration of ions in the solution remains cons

Correct answer

D. Alternating current is used to prevent electrolysis so that concentration of ions in the solution remains cons

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D) Alternating current is used to prevent electrolysis so that concentration of ions in the solution remains constant.
