Polyethylene glycol (PEG) thin films are investigated experimentally. Dc measurements are done under changing relative humidity (rh) to study the change in the electrical conductivity. Upto 70 % rh, electronic conduction takes place with the increase in the current as a result of the absorbed water. Around 70 % rh, the polymer melts from the semicrystalline form, the water vapor condenses and conduction begins to take an ionic nature. At that point, the current shows a sudden increase. After 75 % rh, the conductivity shows irregularities with respect to the increase in rh. There is a hysterisis between the absorption and desorption of water as the film can not get its pre-absorption form, which can be maintained after drying the sample, in the time interval of desorption.
