Glass is an electrical insulator. It does not conduct electricity. Many insulators made for power transmission lines or in the older days telephone or telegraph insulators, are made out of glass due to their superior insulating qualities.

∙ 11y agoEverything conducts electricity, but not everything conducts electricity very well. Glass does conduct electricity, but it's at the far end of things that can conduct it properly. If you ask a scientist, they'll tell you that it, as a matter of a fact, CAN conduct electricity, but on a Molecular [very small] scale.

It is very good

∙ 9y agoAt room temperature, glass does not conduct electricity because the ions are immobilized in the mixture. When heated, however, glass will conduct electricity quite readily.

Is mercury a better conductor of heat than glass?
No, it is not. The best thermal conductor among the metals is silver, and it is the best electrical conductor as well. There is a general "rule" in the natural world that thermal and electrical conductivity are proportionate among metals; they "track" together. If a metal is a better thermal conductor than another metal, it will be a better electrical conductor as well. It should be noted that the best thermal conductor of all known materials is the allotrope of carbon we call diamond. Interestingly, diamond is an electrical insulator.
What matrial is a good electrical conductor?
Silver is the best electrical conductor. Copper is second. Gold is third. Aluminum is a good conductor but not for house wiring. It is used for high tension wires.
Is rubber or glass a conductor?
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
Not a good electrical conductor or insulator?
babies, rocks, cabbage, and habberdasheries are neither good electrical conductors, nor insulators.
Why is magnesium oxide a good conductor?
Magnesium oxide is an electrical insulator.
What is a good electrical conductor when melted and is a good insulator in its solid state?
Glass is a good conductor when melted. Most precision glass melters use gas burners to get the glass to a molten state, then they use electrodes immersed in the glass to electrically heat it to the required temperature.
Is a glass microscope slide an electrical insulator or a conductor?
Yes, a glass microscope slide is an electrical insulator. Glass is generally considered an electrical insulator.
Is glass a poor conductor?
It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Is glass a conductor or a insulators?
Glass is an electrical insulator. But glass more readily conducts heat.
Why is glass a good insulater?
glass is a non conductor
Will a cup be an electrical conductor or an electrical insulator?
That depends on what the cup is made of. If it's a metal cup, then it's an electrical conductor. If it's a glass, clay, wood, or ceramic cup, then it's an electrical insulator.
Is nitrogen a conductor of electricity?
Nitrogen is not a good electrical conductor.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Copper is a good electrical what?
Conductor
Is oxygen a good electrical conductor?
