What is the analog for charge in the water model for electricity?
Misomiso
The "water model" for electricity is very useful, hang on to it in the back of your mind; it will serve you well. Charge is the reservoir in this model.

Why do the water bend after you charge a balloon?
Static electricity.
Why would ocean water conduct electricity well?
Ocean water would conduct electricity well because of many factors. First, water itself is a fairly good conductor because its electrons are "free moving," meaning that the electrons' bonds are looser and this allows water to carry a charge. Furthermore, ocean water has salt, which gives water a lower boiling rate and there is a direct relationship between a substance's conductivity of temperature and electricity. Simply put, ocean water conducts electricity well because it is salty.
Lightning is electricity. How is charge conserved when lightning strikes?
Because there is a difference in the charge states of the earth and the clouds, resulting from the static electricity built up by water molecules moving about in the thundercloud. When this difference in charge states is equalized, there is usually a visible arc, which we call lightning.
How do water conduct electricity?
Water can conduct electricity. I know this because when it rains water can spin a turbine which power electricity from movement
What is electric charge conducted by?
There are two methods of conducting electric charge. Metals conduct electricity because the metallic bond creates a cloud of shared electrons which are highly mobile within the metal. Electrically charged ions can also conduct electricity, so for example, salty water is a good conductor, although pure water is a poor conductor (pure water does contain ions, both H+ and OH-, but in very low concentration).
Why do the water bend after you charge a balloon?
Static electricity.
What is the electrical analog of mass in electricity?
One way to describe electricity to a lay person is that of a large vat full of water with a spigot at the bottom. The water in the vat represents the voltage potential of the source of the electricity. The amount the spigot is open represents the resistance and the flow of water out of the spigot represents current flow. As you open the spigot more the resistance decreases and the potential (the water) is depleted over time. In this example you could say that the potential was somewhat analogous to mass in a physical sense.
Does sugar conduct electricity why?
No, sugar does not conduct electricity because it can not ionize, so it does not carry a charge.(in the matter of dissolving it in water!)
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.
How do you make a working model on electricity which is easy to make?
Just make a physics model of the properties which are associated with electricity but are tangible in the real world. I.e. the water analogy of electricity. Water pressure is voltage, electrical current is analogous to water flow rate and a restriction in a water pipe could be resistance. but it is important that this is only a model for certain circumstances and will break down if you try to carry the analogy too far.
Does algae have a electrical charge?
It does if there is electrical charge going through the water and going into the algae and then the algae traps the electricity inside of it unless there is a break in the algae.
Why does distilled not conduct electricity whereas rainwater does?
For a material to conduct electricity it needs to have free charge carriers. I.e. particles with charge that can move around the material. Distilled water, or pure water only contains H2O molecules, which are neutral. Rainwater on the other hand also contains other materials such as salt, which in water falls apart into positive and negative ions. These are serviceable charge carriers, and therefore rainwater can conduct electricity.
Why you are likely to receive a shock after walking across a carpet when the air is dry than when the air is humid?
That shock is caused by static electricity, or the build-up of charge on an object. As you do something that will help build that charge (like scuff along a carpet), static electricity on your person increases. Water is a better conductor of electricity than dry air. In humid air, the static electricity will be slowly discharged as it contacts the water vapor. When there is no water vapor, the static electricity is not conducted away from your body as it builds up, and it accumulates. At some point, you come close to a good conductor of electricity - a metal object, for instance - and the built-up charge discharges.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as aqueous solutions?
covalent compounds can carry a charge when dissolved in water because ions separate and can carry a charge.
How can electricity make objects more?
Electricity can do more than just shock you when opening the door or make dust and pet hair to stick to you. Electricity can actually bend a steam of water and can charge objects.
Is ionic solutions poor conductors of electricity?
(in short) No, whilst in their solid state ionic crystals are very poor conductors of electricity, however when molten or dissolved their ions are able to carry charge, therefore they are very good conductors of electricity when molten or dissolved in e.g. water. Pure water is a very poor electrical conductor too, it's the dissolved ions that carry the charge.
