FAQs on Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Electricity, Solutions- 2 - Science Class 10

1. What are the different types of solutions in the field of electricity?
Ans. In the field of electricity, there are mainly two types of solutions: conductive solutions and non-conductive solutions. Conductive solutions, such as saltwater, contain ions that allow the flow of electric current. On the other hand, non-conductive solutions, such as distilled water, do not contain ions and do not allow the flow of electric current.
2. How does a conductive solution allow the flow of electric current?
Ans. A conductive solution allows the flow of electric current because it contains ions. When an electric potential difference is applied across the solution, the positive ions move towards the negative terminal and the negative ions move towards the positive terminal, creating a flow of electric current.
3. Why is distilled water considered a non-conductive solution?
Ans. Distilled water is considered a non-conductive solution because it does not contain ions. During the process of distillation, impurities and ions are removed, resulting in water that does not conduct electricity. Therefore, distilled water does not allow the flow of electric current.
4. What are some examples of conductive solutions in daily life?
Ans. Some examples of conductive solutions in daily life include saltwater, lemon juice, vinegar, and tap water. These solutions contain ions that allow the flow of electric current, making them conductive.
5. Can non-conductive solutions be used to complete an electric circuit?
Ans. No, non-conductive solutions cannot be used to complete an electric circuit. Since they do not contain ions, they do not allow the flow of electric current. In order to complete an electric circuit, a conductive solution or a material with free electrons must be used to allow the flow of electric current.
