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.
