Electric current and water current are similar in that they both involve the flow of a substance - electrons in the case of electric current and water molecules in the case of water current. Both currents can be controlled and directed through the use of circuits or channels. Additionally, both currents can generate power and be harnessed for various applications.

Do Vegetables have electric current?

I've never tried it and I could be wrong but I believe you could pass an electric current through a vegetable, especially one with a high water content. Similar to how you can pass an electric current through a person.


How are electric current and electric charge related?

It might be possible to characterize an electric charge as a current -- if that charge is moving. Any moving charge is electricity under the fundamental definition of that term. Electricity is generally thought of as moving electrons, but a more fundamental definition of electricity is any moving charge or group of charges. If your electric charge is moving, it is electric current.

What A material that dissolves in water that does not conduct electric current is?

Sugar (sucrose) is a material that dissolves in water but does not conduct electric current. Sugar molecules do not ionize in water, so the solution does not carry electric charge.


Flow of water and electric current is compared to?

The flow of water is often compared to the flow of electric current. In both cases, the flow is the movement of a substance (water or electrons) from one point to another. The pressure difference in water systems is analogous to the voltage difference in electrical systems, and the flow rate in water systems is similar to the current in electrical systems.

Will sugar dissolved in water conduct electric currant?

Yes, it will conduct electric current much better than plain water. The sugar molecules in water form a clear solution by ionization facilitating the path of electrons of electric current.


Why do ionic crystals cunduct electric current in the liquid phase or when desolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?

Magnetricity.
