@Dissenter, I updated my answer with a few more details to make it a little clearer because upon rereading it, I found that I had some confusing wording in it. :)

| Aug 21, 2014 at 18:24 | comment | added | Vladimir | The salt ions in sea water make it a better conductor of electricity than purified water. The reason this makes salt water a poor dielectric is because by definition: a dielectric "is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field". Therefor, since sea water is a better conductor, it would be a poorer insulator and hence a poorer dielectric. I guess one could say that the conductivity and dielectricity of a substance are inversely related, with the added requirement that to be dielectric it must also be polar. | |
