Why water condact electricity
Accepted Answer
Water conducts electricity because it contains ions, which are atoms or molecules that have lost or gained electrons. When an electric current passes through water, the ions are attracted to the electrodes, which are the positive and negative terminals of the power source. The ions move through the water, carrying the electric current. The ability of water to conduct electricity depends on the concentration of ions in the water. The more ions there are, the better the water conducts electricity.
