A question came up over the weekend about electricity.
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.
