The Unit of Equivalent Conductivity is (1) S cm⁻² (2) Ohm cm² (g-Equivalent) (3) Ohm-cm (4) Ohm⁻¹ cm² (g-Equivalent)⁻¹

Answer: ohm-1 cm2  (g equivalent)-1 g

The conductance of a solution is a measure of its capacity to transport a current. The mobility of ions causes the passage of electricity through the solution. A solution’s conductivity (к) is defined as,

к = j/E.

j = Density of electric current

E denotes the strength of the electric field

Conductance is a measure of how easily electric current passes through a material. Conductance is represented in equations by the capital letter G. The siemens (S), formerly known as the mho or ohm-1, is the standard unit of conductance.
