electrolyte
Dissolved current carrier
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted, because it separates into charged particles called ions.
In everyday usage, electrolytes usually refers to minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium that regulate fluid balance in the body: Sports drinks replenish electrolytes lost through sweat.
