Electricity can flow through pure heavy water only at sufficiently high voltages to ionize the water. However, heavy water, like normal water, can dissolve salts to produce a solution that conducts electricity.

The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a what system?

The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a closed loop system, such as a closed circuit. In both cases, the substance (electricity or water) flows through a complete path with no gaps or interruptions.
