Can cooking oil conduct electricity?

Answer 1

That's a big no. The same chemical properties that make it so oil and water don't mix makes it so oil cannot conduct electricity...ever! In fact, to make it do so you'd have to change it's composition so completely it wouldn't really be oil anymore! :-P

Answer 2

Cooking oil is a non conductor of electricity
However at very high potentials it will suffer dielectric breakdown and start conduction

Answer 3

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them. "Conductor" implies that the outer electrons of the atoms are loosely bound and free to move through the material. Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators. In copper, the valence electrons are essentially free and strongly repel each other. Any external influence which moves one of them will cause a repulsion of other electrons which propagates, "domino fashion" through the conductor.

Simply stated, most metals are good electrical conductors, most nonmetals are not. Metals are also generally good heat conductors while nonmetals are not.

Since cooking oil is non-metallic, it probably is not a good conductor, however don't try this experiment on yourself!

Answer 4

A plant is a plant or part of a grow used as food

Answer 5

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Thus as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Answer 6

Yes, fluids do conduct electricity.

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

No,
