Is rubber a conductor

Answer 1

No it is an extremely poor conductor, being thought of as a good insulator, but if electricity at a high enough voltage , and the rubber trying to protect the current from escaping is too thin, then the current can jump across the insulation gap. Fortunately the manufacturers of electric cables, switches, dynamos and other everyday products like electric kettles, light fittings, the wiring of a house or a car know very well how much insulation is needed in whatever they make.

Workers involved with electrics will wear rubber shod boots, or stand on rubber mats, wear rubber gloves or other insulating materials, and why their tools are specially made; such as a screwdriver with a plastic handle, or wire cutters with insulated handles.
If you mean a conductor of electricity then no its not

Answer 2

Rubber is an insulator of electricity and high voltage of electricity can pass through rubber. Eg: lightning

In reality conductors and insulators are only comparative to each other meaning that insulators still can conduct electricity just very poorly and inefficiently. In saying this it is fair to say that rubber can conduct an amount of electricity but only at very high voltage because rubber itself is very high in resistance and therefore requires the right amount of push to produce a current.

Answer 3

False

No. In fact, it's a pretty good insulator.

Answer 4

No, none whatsoever.

Answer 5

Rubber is an electrical insulator.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

yes
