Water conducts electricity.

>>323392054
but the electricity attack will still electrocute you even without the water why would more water mean more damage?
what subject is this shit anyway physics?

>>323392054

Only if it's dirty water full of minerals. Pure water doesn't conduct electricity.

>>323392906
does that mean I can clean my pc with purified water?

>>323393148
Try it, post your results for us.

>>323393148
Go for it, champ

if america floded and all the steet lights fell down into water would it men that the whole word would be electrifyed?

>>323392365
The electricity would go through your body finding whichever path is the fastest to the ground but when covered in water it would burn your skin
??? I guess I don't know science I'm american.

>>323392906
Well that's most water actually. Harder to find pure h2o than it is to find otherwise>>323393148

Wait a minute
I remember that electro thingy where your hair stands up when you touch it
So if I'm flying and I get electricized, does that mean I don't get hurt because there's no ground?

>>323393564

Very true.

>>323393148
Of course. Rubbing clean water all over dirty surfaces couldn't possibly give you dirty water full of minerals

>>323393868
Correct. That's why lightning doesn't do much shit to planes

/sci/ should see this thread.

Are flying pokemons strong against pikachu?

P=IV=V^2/R where I is a current, V is a voltage difference, R is an electrical resistance, and power dissipated P indicates how much your body heats up or is otherwise damaged by the electrocution. Wet skin has less resistance than dry skin, meaning that R is smaller and P is bigger. For more detail look it up

Pure water is actually an insulator. Magical water is always pure elemental spell.

>>323395978
Yeahyeahyyeah maybe magical water magically picks up impurities from the ground or your skin

>>323394545
Nope. It's the opposite. But it's a reference to birds getting electrocuted on live wires.
