There are many materials that conduct electricity, and some of them can be found in your kitchen. Table 1 shows the electrical conductivity of different substances, where water is the best conductor and rubber is the worst. *Table: contents and values of table are shown in the paragraph below. Materials that Conduct Electricity — *Conductivity is inverse-proportional to resistance, or how much electrical current there can be before total electromagnetic breakdown occurs.* **Water (good conductor)** 100% **Material Variation
– Air (insulator)** 0% **Wood (moderate conductor)** 44% **Glass/Plastic (bad conductor)* 20% **Metal/Steel (*variable*)** 23%-80% **Rubber (- poor conductor)** 0.00196%-0.1688%. The following materials vary when it comes to conductivity, but metal and steel can withstand high levels of electricity. Metal and steel are the best electrical conductors due to their low resistance, which means they have a small amount of opposition as electrons flow through them. Electrons can travel freely with little obstruction or force from other particles in materials that are less conductive. Carbon is an exception because it’s easy for electrons to get stuck on its atoms when heat is applied during electric current generation, preventing any further electron movement.* *Table taken from: Martin et al., “Metals and Electrical Conductivity,” Journal of Advanced Materials 72 (2006): 340-347. The following materials vary when it comes to conductivity, but metal and steel can withstand high levels of electricity. Metal and steel are the best electrical conduct
