Why is salt water a better conductor of electricity than river water?

What is the power rating of the lightbulb if 3.0 a flow through it when connected to a 15 v battery

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)

Adielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area a = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant k = 3.00. the capacitor is connected to a battery that creates a constant voltage v = 15.0 v . throughout the problem, use ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 c2/n.m2 . find the energy u1 of the dielectric-filled capacitor.
