Rubber doesn't conduct electricity well at any frequency. But to the extent that it
does conduct, it's better at low frequencies than high, because of the skin effect.

Can electricity pass through paper?
If the potential is high enough, yes electricity can pass through paper.
Why copper(ii)chloride has a high melting point than ethane?
Because it is a non metal and does not conduct electricity
Can hydrogen conduct electricity?
Hydrogen has the highest thermal conductivity of any gas. The electrical conductivity of hydrogen varies according to temperature. If it is cold enough, it can be a superconductor. If it is hot enough, as a plasma, it is highly conductive.
Does solid potassium bromide conduct electricity?
No because it's a crystalline ionic solid. However, dissolve some KBr in water and it will conduct electricity nicely, because in solution it's an electrolyte, with lots of little K+ and Br- ions floating around.
How is neon used in lightning arrestors?
Neon and other noble gases require a high voltage to conduct electricity, so that normally current will not flow across them. However, a direct lightning strike (such as on a radio tower antenna) will cause the neon to arc and conduct the massive amount of electricity to the ground, protecting transmitters and other equipment.
What type of compound will have a high melting point and conduct electricity?
rubber
What produce conducts electricity?
Any body containing a high moisture content and carbon or salts will conduct electricity. Also metals conduct electricity.
Does sulphate conduct electricity?
Dry sulfates generally do not conduct electricity (very well... everything conducts electricity if the potential is high enough).Any ionic compound, including sulfate compounds, will conduct electricity if dissolved in water.
Does chlorinated water conduct electricity?
At a high enough voltage, everything conducts electricity.
Is bakelite insulator or conductor?
It depends, if the Bakelite is dry, it won't conduct electricity, however if it is wet and a high enough voltage is applied to it, it might conduct electricity.
Can potassium conduct electricity?
sodium bromide can conduct electricity though not in high quantitiesAdded:So does potassium bromide, as all ionic salts do (more or less) 'in solutae'
Is rubber a conductor?
No it is an extremely poor conductor, being thought of as a good insulator, but if electricity at a high enough voltage , and the rubber trying to protect the current from escaping is too thin, then the current can jump across the insulation gap. Fortunately the manufacturers of electric cables, switches, dynamos and other everyday products like electric kettles, light fittings, the wiring of a house or a car know very well how much insulation is needed in whatever they make.Workers involved with electrics will wear rubber shod boots, or stand on rubber mats, wear rubber gloves or other insulating materials, and why their tools are specially made; such as a screwdriver with a plastic handle, or wire cutters with insulated handles.If you mean a conductor of electricity then no its not
What material is the poorest conductor of electricity?
Rubber compound is one of the poorer conductors of electricity. That is why rubber tape is used in both high and low voltage splices.
Does nitrogen conduct electricty?
Not usually. With a sufficiently high voltage, however, nitrogen can be caused to ionize and then can conduct electricity.
Can electricity pass through paper?
If the potential is high enough, yes electricity can pass through paper.
What characteristic do solid ionic compounds share?
In general, they are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When they are dissolved, they can conduct electricity.
How does a banana conduct electricity?
A banana is a conductor because it is high in potassium and dice most fruits are water, t will conduct electricity because water is another type of conductor.
