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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
Im not really sure? If i was asking why would i put the answer
No, an example of an electric current would be using a battery to light a lightbulb.
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
the metal
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.
A voltmeter or a multi-meter.
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.

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