Dry air is an insulator. it does not conduct electricity.
Plz......answer this question
Moist air is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, the presence of moisture can slightly increase the conductivity of air compared to dry air due to the dissolved ions in water. Overall, though, moist air is still considered to be a good insulator.

Gold: Insulator* Wood: Insulator Tin: Conductor Plastic: Insulator Cotton: Insulator* Silver: Insulator* Wool: Insulator* Aluminium: Conductor Copper: Conductor Iron: Conductor Rubber: Insulator Air: Insulator* All answers that I have marked with an asterisk (*) are answers that I am pretty sure about but not entirely 100% positive. Not all my answers will be correct but I am fairly sure most of them are. :)
A wooden stick is considered an insulator because wood is a poor conductor of electricity. It does not allow electricity to flow easily through it like a conductor would.
Air is typically considered to be a good insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity well. However, if the air contains impurities or moisture, it can become a conductor, allowing electricity to flow through it.
Dry wood is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity well. The low moisture content in dry wood prevents the flow of electrical current through it.
Dry straw is an insulator.
No. A towel has air in it, therefore making it a conductor.
Air is generally thought of as an insulator. As long as air is dry, it will not support electric current flow unless voltage is very high. We see high voltages in power lines with air between them, and they don't generally arc, even if it's raining. Air atoms and molecules don't have free electrons to support current flow. That makes air a pretty good insulator.
insulator.
It is an insulator
