∙ 12y agoIf the piece of wood is wet, it will conduct a current (because water conducts an electrical current). In general, wood does not conduct electricity.

What does not conduct electricity well?
I think it could be lead
What materials can burn easily?
Dry paper is easy to ignite unless it is especially treated to be fire-resistant. Wooden match sticks light easily.
Why is dangerous to touch anything which works by electricity if your hands are dry?
The wet hands conduct electricity better than do dry hands. Water and electricity don't mix. All water, even distilled pure water will conduct electricity. This is because even pure water has some ionic content (H+ and OH- ions). Sweaty hands (salty) conduct electricity better than wet from the sink hands.
Why you have to make sure of your hands are dry when i am using electrical equipment?
Water on hands could conduct electricity into your body if there is short circuit in the electrical device.
Why will dry sodium chloride not conduct the electric current?
A substance can only conduct electricity if it contains charged particles (electrons or ions) that are free to move around. In solid sodium chloride, there are ions but these ions are locked into the ionic lattice and are unable to move. Ergo, solid sodium chloride is unable to conduct electricity.
Does not conduct electricity well?
Materials that do not conduct electricity well are Insulating materials, or insulators. Examples include glass, rubber, plastic, air, ceramic, porcelain, dry paper and dry wood. Pure water will not conduct electricity at all.
Is dry air conductor or insulator?
Dry air is an insulator. it does not conduct electricity.
Can Salicylic acid conduct electricity?
All acids conduct electricity except when they are dry
Does sulphate conduct electricity?
Dry sulfates generally do not conduct electricity (very well... everything conducts electricity if the potential is high enough).Any ionic compound, including sulfate compounds, will conduct electricity if dissolved in water.
Name 2 items that will not conduct electricity?
Plastic, dry air
Is dry skin an insulator or conductor?
Plz......answer this question
Is bakelite insulator or conductor?
It depends, if the Bakelite is dry, it won't conduct electricity, however if it is wet and a high enough voltage is applied to it, it might conduct electricity.
What does not conduct electricity well?
I think it could be lead
Is a clothes hanger an insulator or conductor of electricity?
It depends what the peg is made of. Mine are mostly plastic or wood, which are insulators. However, many have metal springs, and metals conduct.
Why do you think that dry salt or dry baking soda powder will not conduct electricity?
because sky is so high
Can 120 volts electrocute a single strand of hair?
No, dry hair does not conduct electricity.
Why should we remove a person in electric shock from the electric line using a dry wooden pole?
The dry wooden pole is a poor conductor of electricity, and may keep you from being shocked.
