What properties of liquids will affect its conductivity electricity?
Electricity is conducted well in substances that have lots of free electrons, or other free charge carriers. That is, charge carriers that are free to move around.
What is a substance that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily?
Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present. Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present.
Is energy transferd?
Yes, energy is transferred through energy carriers as electricity, hydrogen, ... etc.
Can electricity travel without a medium?
Normally electricity requires charge carriers that move through a medium. An alternating current can also travel - for short distances - through a vacuum, and WITHOUT charge carriers crossing the vacuum. To get more information, do some reading on capacitance and capacitors.
Why are salts conductors of electricity?
I am not sure whether pure salts conduct electricity well. However, a salt in solution tends to split into positive and negative ions - so you have lots of charge carriers in that case.I am not sure whether pure salts conduct electricity well.

How does EARTH rod controls the leakages of electricity?
It acts as a ground
Is clay a conductor?
No it does not conduct electricity, and when hard it acts as an insulator..
Why electricity is difficult to pass a resistance?
The basic idea is that in a resistor, there are less free charge carriers (usually electrons).
Electricity is stored electrical charge electricity is the actual flow of electrons?
Electricity is the flow if electrons. Volts is the force per charge. Amps is the speed of the electrons. A battery acts like a pump pushing around electrons already in the wires so it doesnt provide them.
A list of naturly occurring electricity?
Just a few off the top of my head: 1. Lightning 2. Static electricity, which occurs when any two dissimilar materials are in contact. 3. Nerve impulses, which use ions like sodium or potassium as the charge carriers (instead of electrons).
Which of these statements does not describe electricity?
electricity cools down devices as it travels through them Electricity acts in ways similar to ice, which is a solid.
How do electrolytes conducts electricity?
by charge transport and transfer ........they are substances whose aqueous solution are conductors of electricity..electrolytes are good electrical conductors while non electrolytes do not conduct electricity ..........
