Answer:

here

Step-by-step explanation:

When salt dissolves in water, it comes apart into ions with positive and negative electrical charge. That's actually what we mean by calling a material a salt. Ordinary table salt forms Na+ and Cl-. These charged particles are dragged opposite ways by an electrical field, making an electrical current. So that's how salt water conducts.
