Why distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity while water drawn from a tube well conducts electricity.give reason?

Distilled water, if properly distilled, will not contain any ions, so it should not conduct an electric current. Water from a well will undoubtedly have many minerals and metals and salts, etc. in it because these will have been leached out of the ground. The ions that are present in well water will support the conduction of an electric current.

Is saltwater a condutor or insulator?
It conducts electricity. REALLY good conductor.
Is a iron nail a conductor or insulator?
it would be a conductor, as most metal conducts electricity.
Is a orange a bad or good conductor?
of course,we know how lemons conducts electricity in the same way we can also conduct electricity by orange
Is a silver bracelet a conductor or insulator?
Silver is the best conductor there is, no matter what it is made into.
Is sugar a conductor or non-conductor of heat?
Everything conducts heat and electricity (if the voltage is high enough). Some things do it well, some things do it poorly. Sugar is one of those things that does it poorly. Actually not every thing conducts electricity such as rubber even if at high voltage
Is polyester a conductor of static electricity?
Not a good one. The phrase "conductor of static electricity" is basically nonsense. If something conducts electricity, then it conducts electricity.
Why Is distill water a good conductor of electricity?
in real, pure distilled water is a bad conductor of electricity.but if the water contains some amount of salt then it conducts to some extent.
Is graphite an insulator or conductor of electricity?
Graphite conducts electricity.
Is graphite a conductor or an insulator of electricity?
Graphite conducts electricity.
Does saline water conduct electricity?
Yes, saline water conducts electricitywhile distilled water is almost an insulator, salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor.
What is the name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?
A conductor
What conducts electricity when mixed with water?
Water in general is a good conductor of electricity. Anything wet will therefore be a good conductor (this makes it dangerous to get certain things wet).Actually, pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; the fact that water usually IS a good conductor is due to diverse substances dissolved in water, such as salts - the ions make the water a good conductor.
Are metles good conductor of electricity?
becuz metals have free electrons that conducts the electricity.
Why water conducts good electricity?
Water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, the presence of ions in water make the solution a good conductor of electricity.
Is the substance that readily conducts electricity and heat?
It is called as conductor. Ex:Iron copper,etc.
What is a material that transmits eletricity?
A material which conducts electricity is called a conductor
Is saltwater a condutor or insulator?
It conducts electricity. REALLY good conductor.
