What happens when solution of an electrolyte is diluted?

What happens when solution of an electrolyte is diluted?
  1. Both $\wedge$ and $\mathrm{k}$ increases
  2. Both $\wedge$ and $\mathrm{k}$ decreases
  3. $\wedge$ increases and $\mathrm{k}$ decreases
  4. $\wedge$ decreases and $\mathrm{k}$ increases

Solution

The molar conductivity $(\wedge)$ of an electrolyte increases on dilution while conductivity (k) decreases on dilution.
