Best Answer

The type of 'effect' you have in mind isn't clear.

-- Rubber is commonly used where electrical insulation is needed,

so it's pretty certain that you're not going to encounter a case

where rubber is conducting current.

-- If you put a piece of rubber in an electric toaster, it will definitely

burn. But that's not the effect of the electricity. It's the effect of the

heat developed by dissipating the energy of an electric current.

-- Electricity will not make rubber jump down, spin around, glow,

vibrate, communicate, hum, ionize, or become magnetic.

So I would say that electricity does not affect rubber.

I could be wrong.

Is a metal serving spoon a conductor?

No. A metal spoon, and usually anything metal, is a conductor. It conducts electricity, meaning that electricity can flow through it. Rubber is an insulator.


Why is it possible for electricity to travel through metal?

Metal is a conductor. What this means is that it has a very low resistance to electricity, allowing the electricity to flow through it. I suggest you learn how electricity works first to understand how electricity can flow through objects. http://millerwelds.com/education/basicelec/
