No. It becomes a much better conductor if you drop in a bit of some ionic substance

you may happen to have around the house, such as salt or sulfuric acid.

Is water a conductor of electricty?

Yes and no. Pure water, i.e. distilled or deionized, is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, in most cases water is not pure and has some amount of dissolved ions making it a good 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.


Is water a better conductor of electricity than human body?

Pure water hardly conducts electricity at all. You have to dissolve a lot of stuff in pure water to make it as good a conductor as the human body is.


Is pure water is a conductor or insulator?

pure water is an insulator.


Is Distilled water is conductor?

Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks ions and impurities that are needed for the conduction of electric current. Pure water molecules do not dissociate to form ions easily, making it a non-conductor of electricity.


Is pure water an electrical conductor?

At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.


Does water conduct electricity well?

Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.


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.


Which type of water is best conductor electricity?

Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.


Is water an insulator?

No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.

What are some examples of good conductors that are not made of metal?

Very pure distilled water is a good conductor of heat but is not so good for electricity and it is not a metal. Oil is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal. Teflon (a non-stick coating used on cooking pans) is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal.
