Yes, Air can conduct electricity. There are a lot of conditions to it. An classical example would be lightening. Where the Current, or technically, the electrons flow between the clouds to the Ground. Every elements to an extent conduct electricity, what is more important is the amount of resistance they offer to conduct electricity. But when the Voltage or the pressure for the current to flow, the resistance does break down and allows the current to flow. Search for the term called Break down voltage. Its better to read a nice article rather to look for full explaination here..
What else can I help you with?
What are the conditions that could cause air to conduct electricity?
Air can conduct electricity when it becomes ionized, meaning the air molecules gain or lose electrons, creating charged particles. This ionization can be caused by high temperatures, high pressures, or the presence of pollutants such as dust, smoke, or other airborne particles. In humid conditions, water droplets can also facilitate the conduction of electricity in air.
Does latex conduct electricity?
No, latex is an insulating material and does not conduct electricity.
Is dry skin an insulator or conductor?
Plz......answer this question
Air insulator or conductor?
Air is typically considered to be a good insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity well. However, if the air contains impurities or moisture, it can become a conductor, allowing electricity to flow through it.
Materials which lets electricity go through them are called?
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.
Is air an electrolyte?
No, air is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, whereas air is a mixture of gases and does not conduct electricity in the same way.
Why does water conduct electricity while air does not?
Water contains ions and free electrons that can move and carry electric current, while air is composed mostly of molecules that do not contain free charges. This allows water to conduct electricity, while air does not conduct electricity well due to its lack of free charges.
Is dry air conductor or insulator?
Dry air is an insulator. it does not conduct electricity.
Name 2 items that will not conduct electricity?
Plastic, dry air
Does not conduct electricity well?
Materials that do not conduct electricity well are Insulating materials, or insulators. Examples include glass, rubber, plastic, air, ceramic, porcelain, dry paper and dry wood. Pure water will not conduct electricity at all.
Does camphor conduct electricity?
No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.
Does pyrite conduct electricity?
Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
Why superconductor cannot conduct electricity?
Superconductors can conduct electricity.
Do pineapples conduct electricity?
yes a pineapple can conduct electricity.
What metal can't conduct electricity?
all metals can conduct electricity
Does soduim conduct electricity?
Yes, Sodium is a metal and it does conduct electricity.
Does latex conduct electricity?
No, latex is an insulating material and does not conduct electricity.
