Question

    Which of the following is the best conductor of

    electricity?
    A Ordinary water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Sea water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Boiled water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Distilled water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sea water is a good conductor. It has resistance, and this resistance increases with distance. So, if you dip a very high voltage electric wire into the ocean, the area around it (even up to 100 meters or more, depending on how high the voltage is) becomes electrified.
