🔌Electricity flows through water due to an electric field created by submerged wires.
⚡An electric field allows electricity to travel even if the source is not touching the conductive material.
🐟Electricity is more effective in water, which is why electric animals are often aquatic.
🔬Pikachu's lightning bolt would require at least 1 million volts of electric potential in open air.
🧪Electric eels, the strongest electric animals, can generate up to 860 volts of electricity.
Can electricity flow through water?
—Yes. Electricity can flow through water if there is an electric field created by submerged wires.
How does electricity travel in water if it doesn't physically touch the wires?
—Electricity travels along electric field lines, which exist between the submerged wires.
Why are electric animals often aquatic?
—Electricity is more effective in water, making it advantageous for electric animals to be aquatic.
How powerful would Pikachu's lightning bolt be in real life?
—To shoot a lightning bolt even just a foot away, Pikachu would need to generate at least 1 million volts of electric potential in open air.
What is the strongest electric animal?
—The electric eel is the strongest electric animal and can generate up to 860 volts of electricity.
