As regards electrical conduction, if the carbon rod is graphite, it's a conductor. If the carbon rod is diamond, it's an insulator. We have to specify the allotrope of carbon used to make the rod to discover whether it's an insulator or conductor.

Carbon in the form of diamond is not a good conductor.
Carbon in the form of graphite conducts electricity tolerably well in two directions (in the plane of the individual "sheets") but poorly in the third (perpendicularly to that plane).

Is a carbon rod an insulator?
A carbon rod may be an insulator or a conductor. It depends on which allotrope of carbon we're talking about. Electricity can travel through a graphite (carbon) rod easily, but it cannot travel through a diamond rod. Both graphite and diamond are carbon, but the former is a conductor while the latter is an insulator.
Is carbon conductor or insulator?
is carbon a conductor or insulator
Is a pillow a conductor or insulator?
Insulator.
Is a lead of a pencil conductor or insulator.?
No. Lead is a realtively good conductor. The insulator is the wood on the outside of the lead.
Is carbon a insulator or conductor?
Carbon being a tetra valent forms covalent bonds. So basically carbon is not a good conductor. But at the same time it is not an insulator. When electric potential difference is maintained then bonds could be easily broken and movement of charges becomes easier. So it becomes a conductor but a good conductor. Hence carbon is used to make resistors.

conductor
Is carbon an insulator in electrical?
No, it's a conductor.
Where does the excess charge on a copper rod flow to if you don't use an insulator?
If you connect the rod with a conductor, part of the charge will flow to the conductor.
Is carbon a conductor?
yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.
What are the similarities of paper clip and carbon rod?
paper clip is a metal which is ductile, malleable, luster, conductor, hard, opaque, and denser than other elements. carbon rod is a nonmetal which is brittle, insulator, and dull.
