In a water system, the "voltage" is the water pressure, the flow rate is the "current", and the pipe size is the "resistance". Low-voltage electrical current is equivalent to low-pressure water.
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.
when electric current is passed through acidified water hydrogen gas is released at the cathode..
This is a simile because it compares the flow of electric current to the flow of water in a river bed using "like."
The chemical effect of electric current, known as electrolysis, was discovered by William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle in 1800. They found that passing an electric current through water caused it to split into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen.
Yes, salt is conductive in water because it dissociates into ions that can carry an electric current.

Yes it does.

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.
Water.
an electrolyte
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.
We feel electric current in normal water because it often contains dissolved ions, such as salts and minerals, which enhance its conductivity. When an electric current passes through water, these ions facilitate the flow of electricity, allowing us to sense the current. Additionally, pure water is a poor conductor, but the impurities present in normal water significantly increase its ability to transmit electric current. This is why we can feel a shock even in seemingly harmless water when there is an electrical source nearby.
Magnetricity.
Yes, we can boil water if we pass enough current through it......
Hydrogen and oxygen collect on the electrodes when a electric current flows through the water.
Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.
