Is Beer a Conductor of Electricity?

In summary, water is not conductive due to its polarity which prevents the flow of electrical current. Pure water is not conductive, but it becomes conductive when impurities or ions are present. Saltwater conducts electricity because it contains charged particles that can move freely. Water becomes conductive when it comes into contact with substances that can dissolve and create ions. Electricity cannot pass through all types of water, as pure water is a poor conductor but water with dissolved substances, like saltwater, can conduct electricity.

How did you find PF?
Google search on centrifugal and axial fans.
Hi. I'm an electrician. But I don't drink beer.

Pure water isn't but, the electrolytes present in natural tap water makes it conductive.

Beer, on the other hand is quite conducive.

Right. I should have said "water" 🙃

Conducive to making more water.

It conducts money from my bank account directly into ground!
