Detailed Solution

When electricity is passed through tap water, it will start conducting electricity.
When an electric current is passed through tap water, the tap water will conduct electricity. This is because tap water contains dissolved salts and ions. Salt solution conducts electricity by the movement of ions. Ions are free to move about everywhere in the water as positively and negatively charged ions. This split-up of charge allows the solution to conduct electricity.
