I'm guessing this question stems from the fact that water conducts electricity well. This is actually a misconception. Pure water does not conduct electricity at all. It is only the impurities in water that conduct electricity. Even if it did conduct electricity, there would still be no shock because it only conducts electricity, not generates it. If there is no generator, there is no electricity.
The other possibility is that this question comes from the fact that water is a polar molecule and is attracted by a magnet. Again, polar molecules have nothing to do with electricity. It has more to do with intermolecular forces (viscosity, surface tension, etc.).

∙ 14y agoWater in a chemically pure form is only a weak conductor of electricity, but if any salts are dissolved in water, the water becomes an excellent conductor. Hence, if you are in water, and there is some dissolved salt, the water becomes an electrical connection to any wiring that is in the same water. And since human sweat contains salt, chances are the water will have some salt in it.

∙ 13y agoThere are many ways humans can be electrocuted. The amperage does not have to be large as per the following.
Milliamps are dangerous, 1 amp equals 1000 mA.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

What is cooling curve for pure metals?
i dont really know it might be H20 aka water but its probably a chemical
Is pure water is a good or bad conductor of electricity?
No - it is not.For something to conduct electricity, it must have atoms or molecules inside it which are charged (so that they can carry the current from one side to the other). Water has no charged molecules. H20 is neutral (although occasionally it can ionise, but we can ignore that). And so it will only conduct if something charged is dissolved in it (for example table salt).Hope this helps.
Why a person get electric current when he touch electric pole during rain?
This usually only happens on primary poles. The secondary does not have a high enough potential to make the jump to ground. The primary insulators have a crack in them and the high voltage is tracking across the crack to the pole and then to ground. If you have less resistance than the pole to ground where you touch it, you will feel a slight tingle.
What is electric charge conducted by?
There are two methods of conducting electric charge. Metals conduct electricity because the metallic bond creates a cloud of shared electrons which are highly mobile within the metal. Electrically charged ions can also conduct electricity, so for example, salty water is a good conductor, although pure water is a poor conductor (pure water does contain ions, both H+ and OH-, but in very low concentration).
Which freezes at a warmer temperature soda are pure water?
well i think its pure water because pure water subtains alot of proteins.
How do you get pure electric dragon?
first you breed pure eletric dragon and legendary dragon i dont know if it is gonna happen.
If pure water is poor conductor of electricity then why there are more chances of getting shock with wet hands?
Pure water is quite difficult to come by. Most water contains trace amounts of dissolved salts (including calcium, sodium, chloride and fluride ions). These ions can move through the water and complete the movement of charges that is required for an electric current to occur.

When was Pure Electric Honey created?
Pure Electric Honey was created in 1990.
How do you get the pure dragons?
you get pure dragons with puutting the pure dragon first and then the other (terra,flame,sea,plant,electric,ice ,metal or dark).But dont forget about the fact the dragons must be same level .

What Pokemon type is supereffective on water?
To a pure water type pokemon, electric type attacks and grass type attacks are super effective.
The weakness of water type Pokemon are?
if it is a pure water type, the main ones are electric, and grass, but if it is water/ground type, only grass
How pure water work as electric insulator?
This happens as there are many sperm cells floating in the pure vaginal water which helps in reproduction venation, as well as in insulation of, and you guessed it right, your Penis!
Does the liquid level of a bin of water raise when you add pure alcohol?

Is pure water a conductor or a non-conductor?
100% Pure water is not a conductor (insulator) However, please remember, minerals in not 100% pure water are conductors and there are about 10 million minerals in 1 cup of water. It can electrify you. So becareful.
