Water is not a good conductor of electricity. However, when mineral, salt, or tap water comes in contact with frayed edges or naked wire, its charged state can electrify you upon contact. Understanding how far electric charges travel in water will help you stay safe in this scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, there is no definite quantification for how far electricity travels in water. However, factors that matter include proximity, temperature, and type of water. When you are too close to an electrified water body, you risk severe electrocution or death, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide will help you understand what happens when electricity travels in water, the factors affecting its speed, and how to test it for electricity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
