Why chemical always have to be dissolved in water in order to conduct electricity?
Chemicals do not always have to be dissolved in water to conduct electricity. Aluminum is 'purified' by electrolysis in the molted form. In the 1700's other metals were 'purified' by electrolysis as well with no water involved. Actually if water had been present it would not have allowed the chemical breakdown to occur to give a sample of ther free metal. Water solutions will conduct electricity of low voltage and amperage. The electrolysis mentioned above requires higher voltage and amperage ... much higher.
Does dirty water conduct electric?
Yes. but not much
How much voltage is too much?
The human body can be electrocuted by as little as 10 milliamps (mA) of current.Remember that voltage is a measure of the pressure driving the current, whileamperage measures how much current flows through something (in this case,you). Also keep in mind that 10 mA is 1/100 of an ampere; it doesn't take thatmuch to disrupt a heartbeat. Too much voltage is whatever it takes, betweenthe two points where the circuit contacts your body, to drive 0.01 ampere ofcurrent through your heart.Another AnswerToo much voltage is whatever voltage causes its insulation to break down.
Can electricity pass through water?
Yes. With great difficulty if the water is totally pure. Much easier if there are impurities/minerals in the water. Like gangbusters with a pinch of salt added to the water.
How much electricity can an apple conduct?
I thnk due to presnc of acid and water in it. The ions that gets independent becomes the cause of conduction as they carry charge.

why water electrical conductors?
Pure water by itself is not much of an electrical conductor. You can increase the ability of water to conduct electricity by adding a substance such as a salt that dissolves in water, separating into positive and negative ions. The ions in the water are able to conduct/transfer electrons maintaining an electrical circuit through the water.

Yes. but not much
In spite of having too much resistance why does current pass through the body?
Are you under the impression that water has "too much resistance" to electrical current? If so, I can't really explain this to you. The biggest substance one could point to in the human body is water. It's almost literally what a human body is made of. For this reason, human bodies conduct electricity extremely well. You're right to mention current instead of voltage. High voltage will stun you, but a few milliamps of current across your heart could easily kill you.
Why does the school swimming pool have static electricity in it?
That may not be static electricity! Contact your local health dept and the school administration concerning this problem. The health dept needs to perform tests to determine the source of the electricity and have it corrected. Act NOW !
How much voltage does an onion have?
enough to make your eyes water.
How much voltage runs through the third rail?
750volts DC
Which liquids conduct electricity?
Mercury. Pure water doesn't conduct much electricity, but naturally-occuring water has some ions that make it a fairly good conductor.
How much electricity can flow through a series circuit?
it depends on the battery voltage
If electricity was to be conducted through a stone such as granite would the process make any sounds?
If we "trickle" some charge through granite, you wouldn't hear it, and we can do that with a high enough voltage. Granite, in addition to a lot of other stone, is generally thought of as an insulating medium. Note that granite is a silicate rock, and silicates are not terribly dissimilar to glass. And we know that glass is insulative. If you have a chunk of dry granite, it won't support current flow. But if you ramp up an applied voltage while limiting current to some tiny amount, granite can be made to conduct a tiny bit. But let's look at one other instance. If we apply a large enough voltage to dry granite and do not limit current in any way, at some point the voltage will be so great that it will tear the granite apart. When we apply a voltage to a material that doesn't want to conduct, it creates a voltage stress on the material. Increasing the voltage increases the stress, and there still won't be much happening. Note that the voltage stress will be felt "through" or "across" the granite between where the electrodes are placed. And this voltage stress will appear across granite or anything else that doesn't want to conduct and to which we apply a voltage. If we continue to ramp up the voltage, at some point the voltage will be so great that it will tear electrons out of their orbitals and force them up into the conduction band. This will force the granite to conduct, and an electric arc will punch through the granite. The structure of the stone will be destroyed, and you will hear that. The arc, a stream of electrons moving along an ionized trail, will announce itself because the rock will be superheated along the path the electrons take. A shock wave will form around the arc, and this is mechanical energy which will propagate as sound. Just like with lightning.
How much voltage is required to force 3 amperes through a resistance of 36 ohms?
The voltage is 3 x 36 or 108 volts.
How do you define voltage regulator?
A voltage regulator is a part of the engine that keeps the vehicle from sending too much electricity through the engine from the battery.
