What is an activity that would show graphite is a good conductor of electricity?

Take a pencil made of wood and sharpen it from both ends such that the tips become clear. Those black parts of pencil are graphite.
Take a wire connect it to the bulb, then to a battery and connect the both ends of the pencil to the wire forming a circuit. When current flows from battery, it goes through wire and bulb lightens. Since the pencil is connected in the circuit, current also passes through it.
It shows that it is a good conductor of electricity.

Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
How would you descibe a good conductor?
Something that conducts electricity with little resistance. one really good conductor is metal.
Can we say plastic a bad conductor?
Not if you wish to be grammatically correct. You could say "plastic is a bad conductor of electricity," which would be an accurate statement.
Is muriatic acid a good conductor of electricity?
Muriatic acid is an aqueous solution of HCl. Since this is a strong acid, and it ionizes 100% into H+ and Cl- ions, it would be a good conductor of electricity, i.e. it is a strong electrolyte.
Is it advisable to use wooden sphere for the dome of a van de graaf genarator?
No wood is a poor conductor of electricity. You would want a good conductor (a metal).
What would happen when you connect graphite to an electric circuit?
it depends on what graphite you are talking about it depends on what graphite you are talking about
Draw a labelled diagram of the apparatus you would use to show that a metal was a good conductor of electricity?
it can be demonstrated by electrolysis with copper anode and graphite Cu-2e=Cu_2+
Is a ruler a conductor of electricity?
Plastic is generally used as an insulator. A plastic ruler would not be a conductor of electricity.
Which element would be the best conductor of electricity?
Silver is the best conductor of electricity, and as it is costly, copper is widely used.
Tell the best and worst conductor of electricity?
The worst conductor would be rubber and the best metallic conductor would be silver
What is a example of a electrical conductor?
A copper wire would be an example of a conductor of electricity.
Would a gold ring be a good conductor of electricity?
Yes - one of the best. Gold is an extremely good conductor of electricity.
Is a heating coil on an electric stove a conductor of electricity?
Yes a heating coil is a conductor of electricity, other wise it would not heat up.
What would be a poor conductor of electricity?
the best anwers would be steel
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
What would be the best use for a conductor?
To attract electricity! lol
Can non metals conduct electricity?
Generally non metals are poor conductors of electricity as they do not have free electrons. One notable exception is graphite where there is delocalisation of electrons which gives rise to conductivity. The metalloids such a s silicon are semiconductors, in their case exciting electrons into what chemists would call "antibonding" orbitals but physicists call conductance bands allows limited conductivity.
