Why does silfuric acid conducts electricity better than citric acid?
Sulfuric acid is a string acid and citric acid is a weak acid. This means that sulfuric acid disassociates completely in water. All of the protons ( H + ) are released from the molecule into the solution. With acetic acid as little as 1% of the protons are released into solution. So, with sulfuric acid you have, H + and HSO4 - ions that conduct electricity fully, while acetic acid is a weal conductor.
Explain why solid citric acid does not conduct electricity but a solution of citric acid in water does?
In water citric acid gives about 3% ions free when dissolved, they can carry 'charge' from one pole to the other opposite pole. In crystallic form ions can't move.

Does orange juice contain sulfuric acid?
No. It contains citric acid.
Is juice an a conductor?
Yes, all impure solutions of water containing salts are conductive to some degree, in addition many juices are acidic, and many acidic water solutions are conductive.
