First off, not all liquids allow current to flow through them, some are great insulators and allow no current flow.

The amount of free electrons in the liquid determines whether or not this can happen. it is all about the molecule makeup of the liquid. The more free electrons the better current flow capabilities. Mercury is one of the best conductors, De-ionized water is electrically neutral and does a poor job and is almost an insulator, hope this answer works.

Where does electric current pass?

Electric current passes through substances called "conductors", as well as "semiconductors". Conductors include all metals, and any liquid with ions in it.Electric current passes through substances called "conductors", as well as "semiconductors".

What do you call the liquid that allows electric current to pass through?

Electric current does not need a liquid. It can pass in solids, liquids, gases, and even empty space. If it passes through a liquid, the liquid is called an electrolyte.

How is filtrate made?

Filtrate is made by passing a liquid through a filter, such as filter paper or a membrane, to separate solid components from the liquid. The solid substances are retained by the filter while the liquid, along with any dissolved substances, passes through as the filtrate.


Is liquid a stubtance that cannot be broken into simpler substance?

No, liquid is a state of matter, not a substance itself. Substances can exist in liquid state, but liquids can be broken down into simpler substances through physical or chemical processes.


What is liquid that runs through filter paper called?

filtrate


Is it true that free movement of molecules in liquid makes them conductor?

Not necessarily. While free movement of molecules in a liquid allows for some degree of conductivity, it does not guarantee conductivity. Conduction depends on the presence of charged particles or ions that can carry electric current through the liquid. So, the ability of a liquid to conduct electricity is determined by the presence of dissolved ions or other conductive substances.
