Is the skin a good conductor of electricity?

Answer 1

no it can not, the skin isn't very ductile. you ever noticed that when you het burned that the skin later peels away? well that's because all the energy stopped in one spot. the same goes for electricity but the only difference is that when people get severely electricuted the current usually traveles through the liquid in their bodies, but it has to go through their skin to do so. so there must be an ample amount of electricity.

Answer 2

No, skin is not a good conductor of electricity. The outer layer of skin, called the epidermis, is a poor conductor of electricity due to its high resistance. However, if the skin is wet or broken, it can conduct electricity more easily.

Answer 3

A fun fact, everything is a conductor if you place enough voltage across it, but normally through a 9 volt household battery, a skin insulates against that.

Answer 4

The actual skin cells aren't conductors but the 70% portion of your body that is water is therefore it is the water that composes your body that is a conductor, not the skin cells.

Answer 5

No. Only metals and graphite are metal conducters.
