Questions
A tester is used to check the conduction of electricity through two liquids, labeled $A$ 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:
- liquid $A$ is a better conductor than liquid $B$
- liquid $B$ is a better conductor than liquid $A$
- both liquids are equally conducting
- conducting properties of liquid cannot be compared in this manner
