yes, the charges of the dissolved ions in solution allow for electrons to be transfered through water. Completely pure water actually is a decent insulator of electric current

A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous soltion or in molten state?

A covalent compound with no free ions, such as nonpolar molecules like oil or sugar, would not conduct electricity in aqueous solution or in the molten state. Ionic compounds like table salt or potassium chloride, which dissociate into ions in solution or molten form, can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.


What is the electric potential when the electric field is zero?

When the electric field is zero, the electric potential is constant throughout the region and is independent of position. This means that the electric potential is the same at every point in the region where the electric field is zero.


How do we measure electrical current and electrical charge?

The definition of Electric Current in my books when I was learning is - the time rate of flow of electric charge, in the direction that a positive moving charge would take and having magnitude equal to the quantity of charge per unit time. The definition of Electric Charge is - one of the basic properties of particles of matter enabling all electric and magnetic forces interactions, there are 2 kinds of charge Positive and Negative.Electric charge is measured by coulombs (coulomb is 1 ampere per second) and electric current is measured by amperes. If trying to measure use a ammeter.


How are magnetism and electricity related?

Very interesting query, really. Electric lines of force, of course, imaginary one, if it happens to move relative to an observer then magnetic lines of force, this too totally imaginary, would appear in a perpendicular direction to that of electric lines of force. This is the quality of space, indeed. That is why when an electric charge moves along X direction, then magnetic lines are found to be around the moving charge in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the electric charge. The very movement of electrical charge constitutes the flow of electric current. Thus current flowing the primary of a transformer produces magnetic flux which in turn gets connected with the secondary of it. As the passing current in the primary is of alternating current, then magnetic flux linked with the secondary changes. So induced emf is produced in the secondary.


Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?

The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...

Is arc welding an example of electric current?

No, an example of an electric current would be using a battery to light a lightbulb.


Why is an electric current needed to form sodium and chlorine from the sodium chloride solution?

This may be a trick question, electrolyis of a sodium chloride solution produces chlorine at the anode but does not produce sodium at the cathode. Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride does however produce sodium and chlorine.

no

What charge is an electric current?

Electric current is both positive and negative. If there were only one of those it would be an open circuit and it would not work. The particles would be able to flow one way but not the other.


Which instrument would measure an electric current?

A voltmeter or a multi-meter.


How can birds perch safely on an electric wire that would kill us?

They are not directly touching the ground. There is no way for the electrical current to complete itself if it went through the bird. If you were to stand on the ground and touch the wire you would be 'zapped', for you completed an alternate route for the electricity to take.

How much current should be given to mice in Electric Shock experiment?

The amount of current that should be given to mice in Electric Shock experiments would depend on what is being tested


What do you measure with electric current?

Electric current is typically measured in amperes (A), which is the flow of electric charge through a specific point in a circuit over time. This measurement helps determine the amount of electricity being transferred and the rate at which it is flowing in a circuit.


An electric iron is marked 240 voltagen 1200 w calculate the current flow through the electric iron?

To calculate current flow, use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). Substituting the given values, the current flowing through the electric iron would be I = 1200W / 240V = 5A.
