Yes. Iron can conduct electricity. It is not as good a conductor of electricity as copper but it can conduct electricity. If you see a train or high speed rail with two wires hanging over the track, the top wire is a copper wire and the bottom wire is an iron wire. The copper wire conducts the electricity with very little loss of electricity. The iron wire is able to pass the electricity on to the train while withstanding a lot of wear and tear.

∙ 11y agoPure iron and steel conduct electricity, but one does not know if a particular compound that includes iron will conduct.
In general, the elements of a given compound do not contribute the physical properties of their pure forms to the properties of the compound in which they are combined.

What is a dielectric pesticide?
This is a pesticide that will not conduct electricity. It is important because wasps and other insects will make nests near electrical lines. If the pesticide conducts electricity, it could cause a short.
Which is purer wrought or pig iron?
Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."

Do all planets conduct electricity?
Planets themselves probably do not conduct electricity, although it is likely that most planets do contain some conductive materials. The vast majority of the matter on the Earth does not conduct electricity very well, although large deposits of iron, silver, gold and copper all _DO_ conduct electricity.
