If you put a live electrical wire into a large swimming pool, what happens to the current? Does it flow in a localize region around the wire? Does it distribute evenly over the volume of the pool? Does it peter out slowly over distance from the wires, due to the resistance of the water? Please post replies. And thanks. .
