What is electrical conductivity?
This ability of conductance in water is directly proportional to the concentration of the ions present in the water. The Compounds which dissolve into the ions are known as the electrolytes. The more the number of ions present in the electrolyte, then the higher is the conductivity of water.
Types of different electrical conductivity in different water :
Ocean waters have water electrical conductivity of about 5 mS, tap water has EC in the range of 50 to 800 uS, depending on the source, freshwater streams may fall in the range of 100 to 2000 uS and distilled water has EC of between 0.5 and 3 uS. EC is relative to temperature.
How it’s measured:
Conductivity is measured with a probe and a meter. Voltage is applied between two electrodes in a probe immersed in the sample water. The drop in voltage caused by the resistance of the water is used to calculate the conductivity per centimeter.

distilled water does not conduct electricity but tap water is good conductor of electricity.this is bcz of dissolved salt in tap water increase the conductivity of water
