Electrical question

If the feed is on a GFCI (a washroom is supposed to have one hehe) it will trip - but not due to a direct fault.

To get a lot of current to flow requires a surprising amount of ions. Increasing the pressure (voltage) will help tremendously. Text

I've did something similar when I was around 14 or 15 years old.

I filled a standard wall-mounted, ceramic sink filled with regular tap water. I then took a lamp cord with about an inch of bare wire exposed on each of the two conductors and place the two conductors into the water about 8-9 inches apart. Nothing happened. I began pulling the wires closer together until at about 1/2" there was a pop, a flash of light and then black residue (burned copper from the exposed conductors). The breaker didn't trip.
