The voltage required to conduct electricity through water depends on several factors, including the water's purity, temperature, and the presence of dissolved ions. Pure water is a poor conductor and requires a higher voltage to initiate conduction, often around 60 volts or more. However, adding impurities or electrolytes can significantly lower the required voltage. In practical applications, typical voltages used in electrolysis or other water-based electrical processes can range from a few volts to several hundred volts.

Why chemical always have to be dissolved in water in order to conduct electricity?
Chemicals do not always have to be dissolved in water to conduct electricity. Aluminum is 'purified' by electrolysis in the molted form. In the 1700's other metals were 'purified' by electrolysis as well with no water involved. Actually if water had been present it would not have allowed the chemical breakdown to occur to give a sample of ther free metal. Water solutions will conduct electricity of low voltage and amperage. The electrolysis mentioned above requires higher voltage and amperage ... much higher.
How much voltage is too much?
The human body can be electrocuted by as little as 10 milliamps (mA) of current.Remember that voltage is a measure of the pressure driving the current, whileamperage measures how much current flows through something (in this case,you). Also keep in mind that 10 mA is 1/100 of an ampere; it doesn't take thatmuch to disrupt a heartbeat. Too much voltage is whatever it takes, betweenthe two points where the circuit contacts your body, to drive 0.01 ampere ofcurrent through your heart.Another AnswerToo much voltage is whatever voltage causes its insulation to break down.
Does dirty water conduct electric?
Yes, dirty water can conduct electricity due to the presence of ions and impurities which allow the flow of electric current. However, the conductivity of dirty water may vary depending on the level of impurities present.
Do kids conduct electricity better than adults?
No, kids do not conduct electricity better than adults. The ability to conduct electricity depends on the properties of the materials involved, such as water content or metal content, rather than age. Both kids and adults can conduct electricity depending on the circumstances.
How much electricity can an apple conduct?
I thnk due to presnc of acid and water in it. The ions that gets independent becomes the cause of conduction as they carry charge.

why water electrical conductors?
Pure water by itself is not much of an electrical conductor. You can increase the ability of water to conduct electricity by adding a substance such as a salt that dissolves in water, separating into positive and negative ions. The ions in the water are able to conduct/transfer electrons maintaining an electrical circuit through the water.
Why does the school swimming pool have static electricity in it?
That may not be static electricity! Contact your local health dept and the school administration concerning this problem. The health dept needs to perform tests to determine the source of the electricity and have it corrected. Act NOW !
In spite of having too much resistance why does current pass through the body?
Are you under the impression that water has "too much resistance" to electrical current? If so, I can't really explain this to you. The biggest substance one could point to in the human body is water. It's almost literally what a human body is made of. For this reason, human bodies conduct electricity extremely well. You're right to mention current instead of voltage. High voltage will stun you, but a few milliamps of current across your heart could easily kill you.
How much voltage does an onion have?
enough to make your eyes water.
How much voltage runs through the third rail?
750volts DC
Which liquids conduct electricity?
Mercury. Pure water doesn't conduct much electricity, but naturally-occuring water has some ions that make it a fairly good conductor.
How much electricity can flow through a series circuit?
it depends on the battery voltage
How do you define voltage regulator?
A voltage regulator is a part of the engine that keeps the vehicle from sending too much electricity through the engine from the battery.
How much voltage is required to force 3 amperes through a resistance of 36 ohms?
The voltage is 3 x 36 or 108 volts.
What is the meaning of 'voltage drives current'?
Think of Voltage as the pressure and Amperage (current) as flow. If you think of it as pipes with water then the pressure would be voltage, and current would be how much water flows past a certain point in the pipe in a given time.
How can an apple conduct electricity?
apples have alot of electricity but im not for sure exactly how much but it is the fruit with the highest amount of electricity
