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

What is the electric potential when the electric field is zero?
any gadget won't work, as no current would be able to pass due to lack of electric potential difference
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.
What two properties of sucrose distinguish it from sodium chloride?
There are several properties that distinguish sucrose from sodium chloride. One is that sucrose melts at around 186ºC whereas sodium chloride melts at around 800ºC. Another property would be that sucrose is a non electrolyte (will not conduct a current when in solution) whereas sodium chloride is an electrolyte and it will conduct a current when in solution.
How much copper is deposited if a current of 0.2 amps is passed for 2 hours through a copper II sulphate solution?
that would depend on the area of the surface being plated
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.
What do you measure with electric current?
I presume you mean what do you measure electric current with. You would use an ammeter.
Is arc welding an example of electric current?
No, an example of an electric current would be using a battery to light a lightbulb.
Would increasing the resistance increase electric current?
no
What would you expect to conduct an electric current?
the metal
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.
Electric current is sometimes incorrectly defined as simply a flow of electrons What is wrong with this definition?
Electric current is the rate of flow of electrons.AnswerA more accurate definition of electric current would be that it is a flow of electric charges. While current flow in a metallic conductor is, indeed, a flow of electrons, in other conductors -such as electrolytes- current flow may be a movement of ions. So, it would be more accurate to define current in terms of charge flow, rather than in terms of electron flow.
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 would happen if there is no an electric switch in a curcuit?
Generally we use electric switches to put on or off the light,fan,computer,music system,etc.An electric switch is a device that is used to open or close an electric circuit.when we open an electric circuit the flow of electric current inthe circuit stops and when we close an electric circuit an electric current flows through it.
What do you nedd to produce a continuous path of electric current?
to produce a continuous psource of electirc current, you would need electrons.
What is the electric potential when the electric field is zero?
any gadget won't work, as no current would be able to pass due to lack of electric potential difference
