Air can conduct electricity when it becomes ionized, meaning the air molecules gain or lose electrons, creating charged particles. This ionization can be caused by high temperatures, high pressures, or the presence of pollutants such as dust, smoke, or other airborne particles. In humid conditions, water droplets can also facilitate the conduction of electricity in air.

Is rubber buckets conduct static electricity?

Rubber buckets do not conduct static electricity due to their insulating properties. This makes them a safe choice for tasks where static electricity could pose a risk.


Do you have to be touching the ground directly to conduct electricity?

No. You could be standing on a metal ladder and get shocked.


Why do you think the sodium chloride could only conduct electricity when dissolves in the water?

because water conducts electricity


How could you investigate which materials conduct electricity and which do not?

By usig a multimeter you'll be able to discover.


Why is water and foam unsuitable for extinguishing electrical fires?

Water and foam are unsuitable for extinguishing electrical fires because they are conductive. When they come into contact with live electricity, they can conduct the current and increase the risk of electric shock. Additionally, water can cause the fire to spread by splashing the burning material.


Is barium chloride conductive?

Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.

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.


If you could melt a sample of sodium chloride would you expect it to conduct electricity?

Yes, melted sodium chloride (table salt) would conduct electricity because in its molten state, the ions are free to move and carry charge, allowing for electrical conductivity.


Why the plastic must be the parts of the switch and bulbs and batteries in contact with the wires be made of?

Plastic is a good insulator...it does not conduct electricity well. So, for electrical components, such as light switches, wires, and component housings, it's best that they be made out of plastic so that, when you go to touch them, it does not conduct electricity through the material, and through you, which could cause electric shock/electrocution.
