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 a resistance and resistance increases by distance. So if you dip a very high voltage electric wire in the ocean, the area around it (even 100 meters or more based on how high it is) gets electric.
