A fun fact, everything is a conductor if you place enough voltage across it, but normally through a 9 volt household battery, a skin insulates against that.
What else can I help you with?
Is your body when your skin is wet a conductor or insulator?
a conductor
Which is the good heat conductor but bad electric conductor?
your skin
Is your skin a conductor or insulator if wet?
Skin is typically a poor conductor when wet due to its high resistance, which inhibits the flow of electricity through the body. However, if the skin has any cuts or breaks, it can become a better conductor, potentially leading to electric shock.
Is skin a conductor or a insulator?
It's more of a conductor, but not a very good one.
What is skin effect in power system?
DEFINITION: Nonuniform density of current due to its characteristic to flow more at the surface of the conductor than that of the other section of the conductor called Skin Effect in power system.EFFECT: Due to the skin effect, whole section of the conductor can not be utilized properly. Moreover, skin effect causes increment in effective resistance of the conductor and in power loss.
If your skin is moist or wet will it act as a good or poor conductor?
Wet or moist skin can act as a better conductor for electricity compared to dry skin. This is because water, being a good conductor, can allow electricity to flow more easily through the skin. This is why it's important to avoid handling electrical appliances with wet hands to prevent electrical shocks.
How do skin effect varie with conductor material?

Why skin effect for a conductor is not applicable for DC?
As we know that skin effect occures in ac system.skin effect dependes on frequncy.In case of dc syastem frequncy is zero.So skin effect for conductor is not applicable for dc.
What is Skin effect in transmission lines?
when a conductor is carrying a steady DC current,it is uniformly distributed over the whole cross section of the conductor. however, an alternating current flowing through the conductor does not distribute uniformly . Rather it has a tendency to concentrate near the surface of the conductor. This is known as skin effect
Is dry skin an insulator or conductor?
Plz......answer this question
What does the skin effect increase in a conductor?
line losses tend to increase
Why does the skin effect in radio frequency caused?
Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor so that the current density near the surface of the conductor is greater than that at its core. That is, the electric current tends to flow at the "skin" of the conductor, at an average depth called the skin depth. The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase with the frequency of the current because much of the conductor does little. Skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC current. At 60 Hz in copper, skin depth is about a centimetre. At high frequencies skin depth is much smaller.
