How far do electric currents travel in water? If I throw a toaster in the ocean, what would the impact be, if any?
In: Biology
Electricity is the flow of electrons. Electrons flow through the path of least resistance. Electrons aren’t going to flow from California to China in a circuit when it’s easier for it to wait for the next ones to flow nearby. They’ll flow through nearby waters but only a few feet away from it. As you get further away there will be less and less electron flow until it becomes immeasurable.
