Vedclass · Answer

(A) The cell constant $(G^*)$ is defined as the ratio of the distance between the electrodes $(l)$ to the area of cross-section of the electrodes $(A)$,i.e.,$G^* = l/A$.
Since it is difficult to measure $l$ and $A$ accurately for many cells,the cell constant is determined by measuring the resistance $(R)$ of the cell when filled with a standard solution of known conductivity $(\kappa)$,such as $KCl$ solution.
The relationship is given by: $\kappa = G^* / R$,which implies $G^* = \kappa 	imes R$.
