Easiest way: Go to RadioShack and buy:
12v light bulb and a socket for it with screw terminals
9v battery and battery clip for it
The smallest roll of wire they have
Two screw-terminal alligator clips
Hook this up as follows:
Red wire off the battery clip to one screw on the light bulb socket.
Put an alligator clip on the black wire
Cut off a foot of wire, strip both ends, screw one end to the light bulb socket and the other to the second alligator clip.
Install the bulb and battery, and clip the two clips together. Did it light up? If it did, you're ready for the next step.
To test the spoon, separate the two alligator clips from each other, and clip the spoon in between them.
(You could also just ohm the spoon out with a multimeter, but you need to know how to read one to have that make sense; everyone understands light bulbs.)
No, its a conductor in fact silver is the best conductor
Yes, a metal serving spoon is a conductor because metals, in general, are good conductors of electricity due to their high number of free electrons that can move easily through the material. When connected to a circuit, the metal spoon would allow electric current to flow through it.
No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.
Graphite is an example of a substance that can conduct electricity but is a poor conductor of heat. This is because of its unique structure, where it has delocalized electrons that can move freely to conduct electricity, but the heat energy is not easily transferred through the material due to weak intermolecular forces.
oxygen does not conduct electricity because it is a gas that we breath in and a gas that we cannot see so it cannot conduct electricity.
A metal spoon - plastic does not conduct electricity
Yes, all three objects (penny, spoon, nail) can conduct electricity since they are made of metal, which is a good conductor. However, the size and shape of the objects may affect how efficiently they conduct electricity.
Yes, wood is not a good conductor of electricity. Therefore, a wooden spoon will not conduct electricity like metal spoons would.
Yes, wooden spoons do not conduct electricity. Wood is an insulator, so it does not allow the flow of electric current through it.
No, its a conductor in fact silver is the best conductor
Wood is an insulator. Think about it; when you put a wooden or plastic spoon in boiling water, does it burn your hand? No. This is because it slows the flow of heat from the water to your hand. I do not suggest trying the same thing with a metal spoon, which is a good conductor.
Plastic does not conduct electricity at a low voltage. It has few to no free electrons to carry the current from one side of the spoon to the other, so no current will flow through the spoonified circuit.
Yes, a metal serving spoon is a conductor because metals, in general, are good conductors of electricity due to their high number of free electrons that can move easily through the material. When connected to a circuit, the metal spoon would allow electric current to flow through it.

Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
Superconductors can conduct electricity.
yes a pineapple can conduct electricity.
