What things allow electricity to pass through?

electricity can travel through anything with a positive and negative electrical charge


Why does electricity travel through some objects but not others?

Electricity only travels through objects that have de-localized electrons or aqueous ions. The current relies on charged particles to travel on. Metals and Graphite have specific bonding that leaves an electron free to travel through the material carrying the charge and anything with ionic bonding needs to be dissolved or melted for the charged atoms to separate allowing electrolysis so the electrons can flow through. Most water does this too because it has hydrogen and oxygen ions mixed in.


Does electric charges travel only through wire?

There are 2 questions in this : 1: if it is about material... A: No electric charges can also travel through all the conductors of electricity like water, humans, animals, metals etc. 2: if it is about area in which electric charges pass through... A: No, If current is AC then it travels on the surface of the wire, and if the current is DC then it travels through the wire evenly.


Does lightning travel through ice?

yes its because when water is frozen the mobility of the movement of the electrons within the ice is significantly reduced.as the icy lattice structure of the ice cube forms,the electrons become rigid, and unmoving and their ability to conduct electricity is reduced.
