I think water you know that the tap wtaer is hard water i.e it contains excess of Ca++ ions and also the water is made up up of h20 which is ionic in nature and now the the original part when the person touches the switch cause the person is covered all of his body with hard water which is a 98.456% conductor of electricity he gets a svere shock also you should be knowing humanbody is also a conductor of electricity blood is acetic so both media media make good conductors of electricity and no obstruction is observed. In this way the person may also die.\n so always when working with electricity wear rubber slippers which are insulators (dont conduct current).\n GO ON KEEP ASKING

In most electric power plants, water is heated and converted into steam, which drives a turbine-generator to produce electricity. Fossil-fueled power plants produce heat by burning coal, oil, or natural gas. In a nuclear power plant, the fission of Uranium atoms in the reactor provides the heat to produce steam for generating electricity.\n\nHeat is produced in a nuclear reactor when neutrons strike Uranium atoms causing them to fission in a continuous chain reaction. Control elements, which are made of materials that absorb neutrons, are placed among the fuel assemblies. When the control elements, or control rods as they are often called, are pulled out of the core, more neutrons are available and the chain reaction speeds up, producing more heat. When they are inserted into the core, more neutrons are absorbed, and the chain reaction slows or stops, reducing the heat. \n  Most commercial nuclear reactors use ordinary water to remove the heat created by the fission process. These are called light water reactors. The water also serves to slow down, or "moderate" the neutrons. In this type of reactor, the chain reaction will not occur without the water to serve as a moderator.

WOW, you are really doing an over kill if you just want to electrolisize water.\n\nPure water does not conduct electricity.  Water will only conduct when it has ions dissolved in it, the more ions, the better it will conduct.  Tap water does have a small concentration of ions in it,  not much, but enough to make it conduct when you pass 30 volts through it.\nTo increase the conductivity, as you know, you can add some type of electrolyte to the water (like table salt, NaCl).\n\nLet me take a step back right now.\nIf you were to break apart water into pure Hydrogen and Oxygen gas, this only requires a very small voltage, something around 1.5 volts or there abouts (I can look this number up if it is that important to you).  One you have obtained the minimum voltage, it is the current passing through the water the controls the speed of electrolysis.\nAll the voltage over the minimum is called the "over voltage".\n\nWhen you apply a greater voltage than is necesary to the water, you increase the likely hood of reducing/oxidizing things other than water.  Without going into too much detail about the chemistry of it all, you are producing Hydrogen gas at your cathode (-), but at the anode (+), you are probably not producing pure Oxygen, more likely it is Chlorine gas since the Cl- ion is easier to oxidize than the Oxygen in the water.  When you add NaCl to the water, you are only making it easier for it to produce Cl2 gas since it concentration increases.\nThe choice of electrolyte is important as it determines exactly what gasses you will be producing.  In this case, the Cl- ion from the salt is keeping you from making Oxygen gas.  Cl2 gas is very corrosive (not to mention deadly).\n\nThe type of electrode is also very important as some metals will corrode very easily during electrolysis while others are relaitively inert.  Carbon (graphite) and inert metals like platinum, gold and silver (<-- $$$) and popular choices for the anode which is prone to corrosion.  However, for the cathode, you have much greater latitude since the electrode is said to be protected by virture of its charge.\nPersonally, I use carbon-graphite electrodes because of their relative inexpensiveness, however, they do tend to errode over time and need replacing.  When the graphite electodes erode, they leave a fine black powder in suspention in the water which can be filtered out.\n\nLong story short, that slime is most likely the remnants of your electodes corroding away.  Have you noticed you anode betting corroded?\n\nWhat I would do if I were you,\n-switch to graphite electrodes\n-reduce the input voltage in the cell to less than 10 volts (ideally less than 5)\n-use a NaOH electrolye in DI water

Given a fixed power of heat input water would take longer due to its specific heat capacity being large.  4180Joules/kg/degree, compared with 450 for iron & 880 for Aluminium (figures STRICTLY only from memory and not to be relied on)\nOther than that are consideration of good conduction of heat in metals versus convection transporting the heat quickly within the water.\nAlso practically speaking, you might need to allow for evaporative heat loss from the water surface.

I am assuming the energy in this context as "heat energy". Then the answer is NO. It depends on the temperature.\n\nHeat flows from body of high temperature to body of low temperature.\n\nImagine a small tank (10ltr) on second floor and a big tank with 100 lt on first floor. If we connect these, water flows from top tank to below tank.\nHeight is synonymous to Temperature.\nAmount of water is synonymous to Heat energy.\n\nPS: Another similarity is electricity.\nTemperature = height of water = voltage\nheat flow = water flow = current\nheat energy = amount of water = charge\nheat resistance = pipe resistance = electrical resistance

Chemically pure water is an electrical insulator.\n\nEven the least impurity, even the least amount of any dissolved ion, will convert it into a conductor.  Even dissolved CO2 will provide the ionic activity to make water conductive

u know water flows from higher altitudes to lower.ie, for the flow of fluids a hight difference is needed ,,interms of energy a difference in potential energy is needed.like that for the flow of current a difference in electric energy is needed .this energy difference is called potential difference.\n\n              if we connect an emf source to a resister,the energy difference form btn the terminals of resister

(m)\n\n1. VERY PURE water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, very small amounts of impurities, especially salts, greatly increase the electrical conductivity of water.\n2. The main carriers of electrical current are dissolved ions. If a \nbattery is connected to a container of water so that the (+) and (-) poles of the battery are immersed in the water, the positive ions will migrate toward the (-) pole and the negative ions will migrate toward the (+) pole (electrical opposites attract). This closes the\n"switch" and electric current flows through the solution.\n3. Different ions can help carry the electric current, some more / some  less, depending upon their electrical charge and their size. More highly charged,  smaller ions are more efficient carriers of the electrical current.\n4. The higher the concentration of ions, the greater is the conductance of the solution.\n5. There is a complication however, the water and / or certain of the ions may undergo a chemical reaction to one or the other, or both of the electrodes. You may not want to introduce this in the beginning but it does happen.\n6. None of the ion electrical current carriers of salts dissolved in water are as mobile as "free" electrons in a metal are. And the differences are very large. For example, if the conductivity of  VERY PURE WATER is 0.000004 conductivity units, the conductivity of a saturated solution of common table salt NaCl is 23 conductivity units, and the conductivity of a typical metal such as copper wire is 60, 000, 000 conductivity units. So while the\nions in a dissolved salt behave something like "free" electrons, they are very slow and sluggish moving

When a strong electroltye is seperated (dissociated) in water, it seperated into both negative and positive charges, these charges are attracted to the electrical conductors to give it energy to light a light bulb. Try it with salt and water, like NaCl.

There is a finite amount of energy in the ecosystem, regulated by the amount of sunlight plants can convert to usable forms of energy.  As you go up the food chain, a bit of this energy is lost at each level, meaning that at or above a certain trophic level, the energy input is insufficient to support an organism.  It's pouring water from bucket to bucket... You're going to spill some each time, and eventually, none will be left to pass on.

The first 5 leters of the word electricity come from the word 'electron'. In the study of electricity (or electical engineering if you like), 2 quantities help us understand how elecricity works, they are;\n1.Current which is defined as the rate of flow of charge,i.e. how fast charges movein a medium, you see electrons are (negatively) charged particles, when a couple of electons move(say in a wire) current is said to flow, based on how well electrons will flow in a material all materials are classified under cconductors(like metals) and insulators(like wood).Conductors have higer 'conductivities'than wood. this is important to note because based on the molecular structures of materials electrons dont always flow as freely as they would like, the atoms in the material(based on the ambient temperature) offer opposition to the flow of electrons, this is called resistance.For short you could say current is the flow of electrons.\n2.Voltage, which is what causes the electons to flow, it works by creating differnt levels of voltage at the end of the wire much like having a pipe at different levels of height so water can flow. if the pipe were flat on the floor the water will remain where it is.\n\nThis flow of electons is useful for example in the simple light bulb which works by a material givivg of light and heat as its form of reistance (mentioned earlier)in other words only when current flows in this material, will light come on.\n\nElecricity is the flow of current(or electrons form the explanation above)\n\nEnginners and scientists always find ways of getting the right amount of voltage and current based on their understanding of the behavior of materials to acheive all the electrical feats you've seen.\n\nReminds me of a question i was asked once 'if electricity is just a flow of electrons meaning all the electrons coming into my house leaves eventually, then why do i pay bills'. I am sure you can answer now that the electrons may be free but the voltage for driving it is not free. This is what generating stations generate.
