when water is poured in to a cicuit it acts as a condutor wich conduct electricity and increases current of the curcuit whish causes the wires too melt and over heat, burning the curcuit.

Does chlorinated water conduct electricity?
At a high enough voltage, everything conducts electricity.
What are the three elements of electricity?
The three elements of electricity are: - Voltage - Current - Resistance
Why chemical always have to be dissolved in water in order to conduct electricity?
Chemicals do not always have to be dissolved in water to conduct electricity. Aluminum is 'purified' by electrolysis in the molted form. In the 1700's other metals were 'purified' by electrolysis as well with no water involved. Actually if water had been present it would not have allowed the chemical breakdown to occur to give a sample of ther free metal. Water solutions will conduct electricity of low voltage and amperage. The electrolysis mentioned above requires higher voltage and amperage ... much higher.
What kind of source is electricity?
The source of voltage.
How many volts is low voltage electricity?
Low voltage by definition means any voltage from 31 to 750 volts inclusive.
Does chlorinated water conduct electricity?
At a high enough voltage, everything conducts electricity.
What is the relationship between atoms and static electricity?
static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can bend water
How you would use the water flow to demonstrate a high voltage of electric current?
Electricity and water are often compared to help explain how electricity works. Voltage is like the speed of water in a river, and electrical current is like the amount of water in the river. Resistance can be compared to the physical width of the river. Power is voltage times current, or the speed of the water times the amount of water. Electricity is usually most dangerous when it is available at high power - similar to a huge, fast moving river.
How would you explain voltage to secondary students?
Voltage is the pressure that pushes electricity through wires (or other conductors) in the same way that water pressure pushes water through pipes.
Why is electricity related to voltage?
Because voltage is the power that makes electricity to circulate in a wire. Depending on the diameter, the lenght and material of the conductor (wire) the current, (the amount of electrons) flowing in the wire, the resistance will be lower or higher. Conclusively, the voltage is not the electricity itself, but it is like a pump that impulses the water through a pipe. Electricity is the current whose unit of measurement is the Ampere. So you have the voltage, resistance, and current in a electrical circuit on a direct current system.
Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
Why Rain water not passing voltage?
Pure water, like rain, does not conduct electricity. Some rain, though it may not be not pure water, and may be a little acid, or have dust in it, could conduct electricity a tiny amount.
What is voltage category?
electricity
How much electricity does a strawberry produce?
There is voltage in strawberries. The voltage makes them have electricity if it didnt maybe not has much flavor.
Why is static electricity higher on a dry day than humid day?
Water molecules allows some electricity to constantly discharge. Only little humidity and the static electricity can grow to a quite high voltage. A lot of humidity will counteract this. As voltage increases, more will be dissipated by the moisture.
What is the electricity voltage in Great Britain?
The electricity voltage in Great Britain is 230 volts.
What is the Independent Variable of electricity?
Voltage
