It depends on the form of the carbon, if it is charcoal or diamond (yes diamond) then no. But if it is graphite then yes. The reason why it can pass through graphite has to do with the bonding and the molecular structure of graphite which involves delocalised electrons not associated with any particular carbon atom, thereby providing a means by which to transfer charge.

What materials allow heat to pass through and electricity?
metals have the ability to pass and conduct electricity and heat through them....
What material does not allow light to pass through is a good conductor of heat but not a good conductor of electricity?
Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity. Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity.
Can electricity pass through a steel spoon?
yes because any metals except iron lets electricity through it
Material that allows electricity to pass through it easily?
Metallic conductors such as copper, aluminum, silver and gold are some examples of materials through which heat and electricity can easily flow.
Which Properties make it difficult for electricity to pass through?

What allows electricity to pass through it?
An object which is a conductor allows electricity to pass through it
Can heat and electricity pass through metals?
Yes, heat and electricity can pass through metals.
Can electricity pass through salted water?

How does electron pass through electricity?
An electron is electricity as we know it. Electrons flow through a conductable element and that is electricity.

Name an allotrope of a non-metal which allows electricity to pass through it?
Graphite which is a crystalline allotrope of carbon conducts electricity because of the presence of free mobile electrons occassioned by their planar structure.
How do you pass electricity through orange?
put a wire through it
Can electricity pass through the atmosphere of earth?
Yes, it is possible. We can see the high voltage electricity can pass through the atmosphere. When cloud makes the thunder then we can see that high voltage pass through the air.
Can electricity pass through alcohol?
yes
