Question

Distilled water is

• A. good conductor of electricity
• B. poor conductor of electricity
• C. sometimes good sometimes poor conductor of electricity
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B poor conductor of electricity

Answer is B.
The water that we get from sources such as taps, hand pumps, wells and ponds is not pure. It may contain several salts dissolved in it. Small amounts of mineral salts are naturally present in it. This water is thus a good conductor of electricity. On the other hand, distilled water is free of salts and is a poor conductor.
