The atoms that make up wood do not have the right electron set up to conduct. In the outer most ring of electrons, it is best for only one electron.

Is wood good conductor of electricity?
No.
Does electricity pass through wood explain why?
Dry wood has a high resistance; wet or humid wood is a fairly good conductor.
Is a wood log a insulator or an conductor?
Wood in itself is an insulator. But when wet, the water particles can conduct electricity.. Hence wet wood will be a conductor, although not a very good conductor, since the current passes only through a very small area
Which is a better conductor wood or polystyrene?
Polystyrene is a better insulator. It is often used as insulation on houses.
Is a good conductor of electricity a poor conductor of electricity?
No
Is wood good conductor of electricity?
No.
Is wood a conductors?
Wood is not a conductor for electricity. IT is actually a good insulator.
Is a pencil an insulator of electricity?
see, the pencil's outer shield is made out of wood which is a bad conductor of electricity but the graphite core is a good conductor. thank you.
Is true Metals are not good conductors of electricity. An electrolyte solution conducts electricity. Wood is a good conductor of electricity. Nonmetals are good conductors of electricity.?
1. Metals are good conductors of electricity.2.An electrolyte solution conducts electricity.3. Wood and nonmetals are not good conductors of electricity.
Is wood is a conductor?
Wood is not a conductor for electricity. IT is actually a good insulator.

Is wood a conductor or an insulator of electricity?
Wood is an insulator.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
Is a wood log a insulator or an conductor?
Wood in itself is an insulator. But when wet, the water particles can conduct electricity.. Hence wet wood will be a conductor, although not a very good conductor, since the current passes only through a very small area
Why does wood catch fire if it is bad conductor?
Wood is a poor conductor(non-electrolyte) because it doesn't have free moving ions to conduct the electricity.
Which is a better conductor wood or polystyrene?
Polystyrene is a better insulator. It is often used as insulation on houses.
Is a good conductor of electricity a poor conductor of electricity?
No
