Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When any object is wet it becomes a good ____
A
insulator
B
conductor
C
tool
D
slippery
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Well actually, pure water is an excellent insulator and does not conduct electricity.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body is merely one large machine full of circuitry and electricity. Since practically 70% of the body is made up of water, it is considered to be a good conductor of electricity on average. This is due to the ions (i.e. Na+, K+, Cl−) that are contained within the water.

Detailed explanation-3: -As we know that water is a good conductor of electricity. However moist air is not a very good/ perfect conductor. It can be considered as a conductor to a very small extent as it contains water molecules that are polar in nature. Moist air’s conductivity increases with the amount of moisture level present in it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water is a great conductor of electricity, allowing current to flow more easily in wet conditions and through wet skin.
