The worst conductor of electricity is pure distilled water. Water, being a nearly universal solvent, typically has a good amount of soluble minerals (electrolytes) in it. It is these soluble materials in water that actually conduct electricity through the water.
Generally speaking, a lead/acid battery will not work without the addition of sulfuric acid electrolytes to conduct the current between the cell plates.
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.
One example of a liquid substance that is an insulator of electricity is purified water. Pure water does not conduct electricity well because it is a poor conductor of ions necessary for electrical conduction to occur. However, impurities in water can make it a better conductor of electricity.
Oil is an insulator of electricity. It does not conduct electricity well due to its low conductivity properties.
No, castor oil is not a good conductor of electricity. It is actually an insulating oil that is commonly used in electrical transformers to provide insulation and cooling properties.
No
No, once oil based paint has dried, it is not a conductor of electricity.
Yes
Wax itself does not condcut electricity, however the oil's of the wax does conduct electricity. The liquid from the wax will conduct electricity due to Ion conductivity in fluids.
Bulk Mineral Oil
Oil doesn't conduct electricity. If you're looking to do something such as create a liquid cooling system, oil such as vegetable oil is a great option.
No, in general oils do not conduct electricity.
Silver is a bad conductor of heat
