Depends on the material. The electricity can flow through metal better then it can through wood because wood is a conductor of electricity (example).

Why is it advised to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?
because electricity flows very nicely through copper but not so well through dirt.
What can prevent the path of electricity?
The current of electricity flows well with conductors. So by placing an insulator in the path of the electricity you can stop the current.
Is a book a conductor?
No, a book is not a conductor. A conductor is a material that allows electricity or heat to flow through it easily, while a book is made of paper or other materials that do not conduct electricity or heat well.
Why birds doesn't get electricuted in landing on electric lines?
Well scientificlay said its becuse electricity flows through the least resisting conduent. In other words its easier to pass through the wire than through the bird , and its lazy :D
How does a resistor slow down the flow of change in a circuit?
It is made of a semiconductor that doesn't conduct electricity as well as the rest of the circuit. It dissiapates some of the electrical energy as the current flows through it.
Difference between porosity and permeability?
Porosity is the amount of void space in a rock or other earth material (like a sand deposit) - in other words, it´s how much water a material can hold. Permeability refers to how well water flows through a material - that´s controlled by how large the pores are, and how well connected they are.
A material that is conducts heat well is most likely?
Metals conduct heat and electricity well.
What material conducts electrical energy well?
Copper cables are reputed to carry electricity well.
What books are about electricity?
No, electricity can not move through paper
Why does electricity flow through some things better than others?
Each material or compound has its own electrical properties that determine how well it conducts electricity. This has something to do with the free electrons in its chemical composition. But there are tables that rate every material from those that are good insulators(resist electrical current) and those that are good conductors of electricity.
What does electricity not flow through well?
Plastic
What is the meaning of conductor?
A good type of material that transfers heat or electricity well.
