Ans:

Conductivity Meter:

“It is an electrical instrument which is used to measure the amount of current or the conductance in a
solution”.

Grounding:

Ans:

“The connection of an electrical system or equipment with ground i.e the earth surface for safety and
functional purposes”

We ground any electrical equipment or system for the purpose of controlling voltage to earth within the
predictable limit elminimating the risk of fault.

Ans:

They are both opposite of reach other and are related inversely. As conductivity means how well a
material conduct an electricity on the other hand the resistivity means how well a material resist the
flow of current. Resistivity unit is ohm-meter while is mho-meter or siemens-meter.

Q2:

Ans

Neutral:

Neutral is return path for an AC current which is supposed to carry current in normal condition.

Ground:

Ground is for safety concerns against the leakage current on the system by least resistive path.

Q 3:

Answer:

Two plug is sufficient for the use in tv and mobile charger as there is very less chances of coming in with
a metal moreover the excess current is controlled by blowing the fuse which is in the live terminals of
appliance. As refrigerator have metallic body that’s why we 3 plug pin which controls the ground current
for the safety of user.
