The human body is very much like a thin rubber bag full of salt water. Usually the thin insulating membrane known as our skin does an excellent job of protecting us from all manner of harm, such as a poke with sharp stick, bacteria, viruses, dirt, and (only becoming an issue in the last 100 years) electricity. If any of these things are able to get past the protective barrier of our skin, they can cause a great deal of harm. Cuts, sores, scrapes, abrasions, and rashes all represent weak spots in our skin and all of them are potential routes for infection. They are also potential routes for electric shocks to do much more harm than we are accustomed to them doing. Although the skin has a very large resistance (on the order of MegaOhms), the salt water (electrolyte) solution that is in your body is designed specifically to conduct electricity, so that your nerve impulses can reach the muscles and do those little things we enjoy doing so much, such as walking and breathing. Normally, dry skin in good condition is insulating enough to provide fair protection against electric shocks up to 120VAC, such as is found in a typical North American electrical outlet. 240VAC is quite capable of knocking you flat on your ass and rendering you unconscious for a while, but still little lasting damage is usually done. If the electrical shock is strong enough, it will stop your heart and kill you.
1. Metals are good conductors of electricity.2.An electrolyte solution conducts electricity.3. Wood and nonmetals are not good conductors of electricity.
Graphite and diamond are good electricity conductors.
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
yes sir
It depends what you mean by "good" they are not necessarily "good" conductors of electricity but yes they will conduct electricity. Most things conduct electricity at some level, they may have high resistance but they will still conduct electricity.

All metals are pretty good conductors of electricity.
Coins are made of metal and metals are good conductors of electricity.
Metals are usually good conductors of heat and electricity.
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
No, they are not good conductors of electricity. Graphite is an exception as despite being a non-metal it conducts electricity. Only metals are good conductors of heat as well as electricity.
They aren't necessarily good conductors of both (like diamond, which is a good conductor of heat, but not electricity) Graphite is one that is both, but most of them are metals.
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
Copper is one of the best conductors for electricity.
metals and such substances are good condutors of electricity.
Metals are good conductors of electricity, two of the best conductors are silver and copper.
Metals such as copper, silver, and aluminum are good conductors of heat and electricity due to their free-moving electrons that can carry both heat and electrical charges efficiently. Additionally, materials like gold and iron are also good conductors of both heat and electricity.
