Is wool a conductor of electricity?

Answer 1

wool is a good non-conductor.Materials that insulate heat, eg wool, cotton etc, are also by definition good electrical insulators. Good conductors would include most metals, which you may have noticed are bad insulators. you wouldn't wear metal underwear anyway!

Answer 2

Iron wool will conduct electricity, but it is hardly convenient or particularly useful. For one thing, the surface area of a chunk of iron wool in contact with another conductor would be small. It will likely have a layer of oxide on it which will add contact resistance.

But, iron wool will conduct electricity.

Safety Issues:

Take some care if you try running electric current through steel or iron wool.

If you connect a pair of clip leads to a chunk of iron wool and then to a battery, you will most likely see the iron wool turn red hot and melt. It is a small mass, but it is enough to cause a burn injury and it can catch things on fire. In fact, iron wool has been known to burn, so if you do this, use a small quantity of iron wool away from anything that may catch fire.
