Will hair wrapped in graphite conduct electricity?

The hair won't, but the graphite will. Graphite conducts whether or not hair is present. The hair in this situation is really just a means to physically support the graphite. So, yes, anythingcoated in graphite will conduct.


Do diamonds conduct electricity?

they don't conduct electricity: they have no free electrons. graphite, however, made of the same stuff as diamond (carbon) has a different structure, which means that it does have free electrons, and a lot of them. Therefore graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
