Does wood conduct electricity? Here’s what’s behind it

by Pramith

Wood is not known to conduct electricity. Under certain circumstances, however, it can. Find out if and when wood can conduct electricity in this practical tip.

That is why wood conducts electricity – under certain circumstances

In principle, wood belongs to the insulators, i.e. materials that conduct electricity only very poorly, like rubber or plastic. However, it is possible for even wood to conduct electricity.

  • Wood is a better conductor than air, for example, which is why lightning also strikes trees and thus conducts electricity through them.
  • Dry wood does not conduct electricity. However, since water can conduct electricity, damp wood is a conductor of electricity at low voltage, which can be tested with a phase tester.
  • Nevertheless, wood is not a good conductor compared to metals, which are also used in magnets.
  • Wood is also not a good insulator compared to insulating materials like rubber.
