Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \times 10^{-4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given for \(0.2 \mathrm{M}\) solution \(R=50 \Omega\) \(\kappa=1.45 S m^{-1}=1.4 \times 10^{-2} S \mathrm{cm}^{-1}\) Now, \(R=\rho {\frac{\ell}{a}}=\frac{1}{\kappa} \times \frac{\ell}{a}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{\ell}{a}=R \times \kappa=50 \times 1.4 \times 10^{-2}\) For \(0.5 M\)…
