If you are referring to electrical resistance, almost any wood is an insulator.

Why wood does not conduct electricity?
Wood can conduct electricity if the wood is still green or wet, otherwise the wood has too much resistance (resistance is the opposition to current flow).
Which has the least resistance wood iron rubber or silver?
silver.
What is resistance material?
it means wood work
What material has resistance between a conductor and a insulator?
The resistance between a conductor and an insulator is: Wood, fabric, and water!
Does electricity pass through wood explain why?
Dry wood has a high resistance; wet or humid wood is a fairly good conductor.
What has the author Geoffrey Albert Wood written?
Geoffrey Albert Wood has written: 'Resistance to hepatocarcinogenesis in copenhagen rats'
Copper has more or less resistance than wood?
Much less
Why are Popsicle sticks made out of wood?
The reason that Popsicle sticks are made out of wood is that the wood that they are made out of, (white birch), has a resistance to break and usually doesn't splinter into sharp and dangerous pieces.
How does a moisture meter give a reading of the moisture content of wood?
By passing an electrical current from one pin to the other. The greater the moisture content, the higher the resistance. By measuring the resistance, it gives an estimate of the average moisture content. I think. 2009/03/14 - Correct, but exactly backwards .... Moisture (water) can be a conductor. Dry wood is an insulator. The higher the moisture content, the lower the resistance and vice-versa. Wood with a high moisture content gives a low resistance to the tester and conducts the test voltage better.
Why wood is a bed conductor?
Wood is a bad conductor of heat because wood is a covalently bound compound, meaning they don't have loose electrons that move around freely. When talking about electricity, wood is a good insulator because of its resistance of electrical flow.
Why is overcoming a resistance force using a screw so easy?
The inclined plane pulls the screw into the wood.
What is the dependent variable when testing the conductivity of wood and lead?
The dependent variable is the one you measure. In this case, it would be the electrical resistance, measured in Ohms.An easy way to remember is to note that the resistance changes based on the material. The resistance is dependent on the material used, and thus the resistance is, in this case, the dependent variable.
