Water is not a conductor. In fact, some high powered magnetrons are cooled directly by circulating water through the cavity of the magnetron. The water must be ultra pureified to do this though. The slightest of particles will conduct.
Humid air is room air + water vapor, and both may contain contaminates which become more conductive when moisten with higher humidity.
Humid air is more dense.
Moisture (water droplets) is saturating the air when the weather is humid.
Warm air
Dry air is a better insulator than humid air, allowing static electricity to build up more easily. When you shuffle your feet on a dry carpet, for example, the accumulated charge is more likely to discharge as a static shock when you touch a conductive object. Humid air helps dissipate this static charge more effectively, reducing the likelihood of a shock.
Charging a balloon is easier on a dry day because low humidity allows for more effective static electricity buildup. In humid conditions, water molecules in the air can carry away electrical charge, reducing the balloon's ability to hold a static charge. This moisture creates a conductive environment, which dissipates the charge quickly. Thus, the drier the air, the better the balloon can retain its static electricity.
A copper wire is a much better conductor of heat than air is.
Glass is a better conductor of heat compared to air because it has a higher thermal conductivity. Air is a poor conductor of heat due to its low density and lower thermal conductivity.
if air is a conductor of electricity ,then everyone will be undergone for great electric shock because air is everywhere . without air we cant live . Air can be a conductor but is a better insulator! An example of it conducting is lightning. If it was not a better insulator we would not be able survive. Another advantage is: the ability to string high voltage wires for the transmission of electricity.
water is the best conductor of electricity, compare to air the atoms in water is more closely to each other and that makes water more conductive than air, glass can be conductor it depends on it composition but not as good as water and wood is not a conductor unless it's wet.
In the winter, The air is less humid.
Air is not a conductor neither for heat nor electricity. It is a substract, altough it can carry some heat, and specially electricity when the weather is humid. So, ground your shower. Corrections are welcome, thanks.
Air can become a good conductor when it is ionized, meaning its atoms and molecules become charged. This can happen due to high temperatures, exposure to radiation, or electrical discharges like lightning. When air becomes a good conductor, it allows electricity to flow easily through it, leading to phenomena like lightning strikes and electrical arcs.
Air is typically considered a good insulator rather than a conductor. While air does not conduct electricity well, it can help insulate and prevent electrical currents from flowing between conductive materials. In electrical systems, air gaps are often used to maintain insulation and prevent electrical shorts.
Steam is a better conductor of heat compared to air. Steam is in a gaseous state and has higher thermal conductivity because its particles are moving more quickly and can transfer heat faster than the particles in air.
No, trapped air is a poor conductor of heat or electricity. It has low thermal and electrical conductivity due to its low density and lack of free-moving electrons. This property makes trapped air a good insulator rather than a conductor.
The electric discharge from a charged balloon would happen more slowly in dry air compared to humid air. This is because dry air is a better insulator and does not conduct electricity as easily as humid air, which contains more water molecules that can facilitate the flow of charged particles.
Humid air is more dense.
