Does Water Conduct Electricity

Pure water is an insulator and does not conduct electricity well as it lacks dissolved minerals and ions. In contrast, tap water contains dissolved minerals and ions that enable it to conduct electricity. The presence of these ions in water is essential for its conductivity.

PURE WATER
Pure water, also known as
purified or distilled water, is
water that has been processed
to remove all impurities,
including dissolved minerals,
salts, bacteria, and other
contaminants.
TAP WATER
Tap water contains dissolved
minerals, chlorine (for disinfection),
and other trace elements and
contaminants
DOES WATER CONDUCT ELECTRICITY?
Pure water does not conduct electricity well; it's considered an insulator.
However, water containing dissolved ions, such as salts, can conduct electricity
because these ions carry electrical charge.
