  If we repeat this activity by taking sulphuric acid solution, sodium hydroxide solution,
                       common salt solution, copper sulphate solution, vinegar or lemon juice in the beaker,

                       the bulb glows again.
                     But,  if  we  take  sugar  solution,  distilled  water,  alcohol  solution,  milk,  vegetable  oil,

                       honey,  etc.,  the  bulb  will  not  glow,  stating  that,  these  liquids  does  not  conduct





























                       electricity at all.




            B.  Weak conduction of electricity in case of Vinegar and Lime juice:

                     We  have  seen  that  when  an  electric  current  is  passed  through  hydrochloric  acid
                       solution, the bulb glows brightly.

                     But,  when  we  take  vinegar  or  lemon  juice,  in  place  of  Hydrochloric  acid,  we  can

                       observe that the bulb glows very dimly, even when larger battery is applied to the
                       circuit.

                     The very dim glowing bulb indicates that even though vinegar and lemon juice
                       conduct electricity but they are weak conductors of electricity.
