Is water an insulator or conductor?
Pure water (distilled water) is an insulator. Generally we think of water as a conductor because there are impurity ions in the water, such as tap water. Pure water can't be called a conductor, but it can also conduct electricity.
Is a dog a conductor or insulater?
Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.
Can water be used as an insulator?
Pure water is an insulator, but in the "real world", water usually has impurities - notably ions - that actually make it a good conductor. This is theory; I don't think it is practical to use water as an insulator.

Is water an a good insulator?
No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.
What is the best insulator of electricity copper aluminum distilled water or tap water?
Distilled water is the best insulator for listed choices because it has no ion's in it.
Why pure water is considered as insulator?
Yes! Pure distilled water is an insulator. it is the minerals, alkali's and acids in the contaminates that determine the resistivity of water!
Is distilled water is the best conductor of eletricity?
no! its a insulator

Is distilled water an insulator or conductor?
As it don't have dissolved salts ***** Distilled water does not conduct electricity for the above reason.
Is plain water a conductor or insulator?
Plain distilled (or double distilled) water with no impurities is a poor conductor of electricity. The more impurities it has the better conductor it becomes
Why does current flow through impure water and not through pure distilled water?
Water is actually an insulator and does not pass electricity well, the minerals within the water are what actually conduct the current and thus in distilled water there is no conduction
Is distilled water an electroly te?
Strangely enough, water itself won't conduct electricity. It's all the salts and impurities that are in naturally occurring water that do the conduction. IF your distilled water was made in a glass still, and it's kept in either glass or plastic containers, it won't conduct electricity.This doesn't mean distilled water is a good insulator; water does everything it can to pick up anything that will make it conductive.
Does saline water conduct electricity?
Yes, saline water conducts electricitywhile distilled water is almost an insulator, salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor.
Is Distilled water is conductor?
Absolutely pure water (distilled is a good example) is a very poor conductor of electricity. With just a bit of dissolved minerals it becomes a good conductor, but not when distilled.
Is 'dirty water' a good conductor or insulator?
yes water is a good conductor
Is salt water a conductor or a insulator?
insulator.
