Solution:  
(a) (i) When the concentration of the electrolyte approaches zero, the molar conductivity is termed as limiting molar conductivity. It is represented by Λm\Lambda_m.
(ii) Fuel cell: Fuel cells are the galvanic cells or electrochemical cells that transform the chemical energy into electrical energy from fuel combustion by redox reaction, such as hydrogen, methanol, etc.
Given,
For 0.1molL1KCl0.1 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1} \mathrm{KCl} solution
Resistance (R)=100Ω(R) = 100 \Omega
Conductivity (k)=1.29×102Ω1cm1(k) = 1.29 \times 10^{-2} \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{cm}^{-1}
Cell constant (G)=k×R(G^*) = k \times R
=1.29×102Ω1cm1×100Ω= 1.29 \times 10^{-2} \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \times 100 \Omega
=1.29cm1= 1.29 \mathrm{cm}^{-1}
For 0.02molL1KCl0.02 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1} \mathrm{KCl} solution
Resistance (R)=520Ω(R) = 520 \Omega

OR
(a) Faraday's first law of electrolysis states that "The mass of a substance deposited at any electrode is directly proportional to the amount of charge passed."
m=Z×Qm = Z \times Q
where, m=m = mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode.
Q=Q = amount of charge passed through it and
Z=Z = electrochemical equivalent
The reduction of one mol\mathrm{mol} of Cu2+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} to Cu\mathrm{Cu} can be represented as:
Cu2++2eCu\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} + 2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}
Since, 2mol2 \mathrm{mol} of electrons are involved in the reduction, so the amount of charge required is 2F2 \mathrm{F}.
(b) The given cell reaction can be represented as
Mg(s)+Cu2+(aq)Mg2+(aq)\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{s}) + \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq}) +Cu(s)+ \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})
Ecell=E2.303RTnFlogMg2+Cu2+E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ} - \frac{2.303 RT}{n F} \log \frac{\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}}{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}}

Ecell=2.710.05912log10E_{\text{cell}} = 2.71 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log 10
Ecell=2.68VE_{\text{cell}} = 2.68 \mathrm{V}
