Question

why distilled water is poor conductor of electricity?

why is vegetable oil and glycerine poor conductor of electricity?

Answer 1

Distilled water does - but very little compared to piped, well or saltwater. The reason is that the way a liquid conducts electricity is by the positively or negatively charged ions that are actually moving from one of the electrodes to the other, carrying charge (electricity) with them.

Is vegetable oil a poor conductor of electricity? ... Oils in general arepoor conductors. Large transformers use oil as dielectric insulators, but they use special mineral oils for durability and other reasons. If you need a good liquidconductor, try salt water.Feb 18, 2018

Answer 2

Conductor of electricity are those substance in which moving ions are present.
But in distilled water, no moving ions are present. So, it doesn't conduct electricity...

Vegetable oil is an oil and oils are poor conductor of electricity....

Glycerin has a property of not conducting electricity, due to its texture and properties...
