If you know what the material is you can determine whether the material is a normal conductor of electricity by reference. If not try completing a circuit with torch battery(ies), a bulb from the torch, some wire and see if the bulb lights up. If so the material in the circuit conducts electricity.

Is carbon an insulator or a conductor?
It depends on the type, or allotrope, of carbon you're talking about. For a material to conduct electricity, it should have free electrons to carry the electrical current. In diamond, an allotrope of carbon, there are no such free electrons. This means that diamond does not conduct electricity. However, graphite, another allotrope of carbon, conducts electricity very well because it has an entire "sea" of free electrons.
The method by which rivers carry material that relies on the least amount of water turbulence is?
solution
What material is a television set made of?
Silicon, tin, zinc, gold, silver, plastic, and steel.
Why can't sodium chloride conduct electricity in crystalline form?
Ionic compounds are unable to conduct electricity in crystalline (or solid) form because the ions are unable to carry the electric current since they cannot move from their fixed positions. When in a dissolved state, the ions separate and can thus carry the current.
List the factors on which the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet depends?
The strength of an electromagnets magnetic field depends on:The type of core metalThe ability of the wire to carry current (its material and thickness)The number of turns of the wiring around the coreThe voltage/current of the electricity going through the wire.
What do you call a material that can carry electricity?
An electrical conductor is a material that can carry electricity.
What material conducts electrical energy well?
Copper cables are reputed to carry electricity well.
Is metal a conductor of electricity?
For a material to conduct electricity, it must have free movable electric charges, such as free electrons or free ions, in order to 'carry' electricity. In the case of metals, there is a 'sea' of delocalized electrons. These free electrons can 'carry' the electricity, and thus, it is a conductor.

What material conducts electricity that isn't metal?
We all know metal is a conductor of electricity yes but surprisingly water also conducts electricity to! We know this because when you touch a socket or anything electrical we get electrocuted!
What do you call a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily?
A material that electricity can conduct electricity.
What materials will not carry or conduct electricity?
Insulator materials will not carry or conduct electricity.
The ability of a material to carry energy is called?
A Conductor
What does conductor mean in science?
It means that it's a material whose outer shell electrons move freely across the surface of the material. Conductors can carry an electric current
What can be the hypothesis of the question Does the color of hair affect how much static electricity it can carry?
i dont know if you said hehehheheeh
How did you know that electricity can pass through the material?
You can find out by trying it out. There is no reliable way to find this out without actually trying it out.
Which material is malleable and conducts electricity wood ice metal or oil?
Metal is the material that is malleable and conducts electricity.
