Question

Which of the following is the primary characteristic of an electrolyte to form corrosion?

(a) Electrical resistivity

(b) Thermal resistivity

(c) Thermal conductivity

(d) Electrical conductivity

I had been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My question comes from Eight Forms in division Eight Forms of Corrosion of Corrosion Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (d) Electrical conductivity

For explanation I would say: Electrical conductivity is the primary characteristic of an electrolyte. Electrolyte is a medium to transfer electrons from anode to cathode, this results in corrosion. The conductivity of the electrolyte is one of the main factors in the regulation of corrosion.
