Is a magnet a insulator or conductor of electricity?
Assuming you mean electrical conductor / insulator, most bar magnets are made of solid metal, either iron, neodymium or an alloy of aluminium nickel and cobalt, so they conduct electricity. There is one type of magnet called a ferrite magnet which does not conduct electricity - they are the type often found in loudspeakers.
What is the difference between magnets and electromagnet?
an electromagnet is a magnet which is activated by electricity and it ceases to be a magnet once the electric supply is stopped whereas a magnet is a natural magnet which does not need electricity and continues to be a magnet whether it is supplied by electricity or not.
Does a banana conduct electricity?
Yes bananas conduct electricity
Can magnets conduct electricity?
Some magnets conduct electricity quite well. Others are pretty good insulators. If the magnet is made from metal, chances are that it will be a pretty good electrical conductor. If it is a ceramic magnet or one where magnetic particles are suspended in a non-conductive medium (like those flexible rubber fridge magnets that businesses like to distribute) then the magnet will usually be a very poor electrical conductor.
Will coconut oil can conduct electricity?
No, in general oils do not conduct electricity.
What can stick to a magnet but doesn't conduct electricity?
electric tape
Does a magnet just the word magnet conduct electricity?
no it does not.
What sticks to a magnet but does not conduct electricity?
Glue?

Is magnet is a good conductor of electricity?
Conductor of electricity is sort of the definition of a magnet. Magnets conduct electrical fields; it is what makes them magnets, in very simple terms.
Is a magnet a conductor?
A magnet will conduct electricity.
Does silver stick to a magnet?
A magnet does not normally stick to silver. However a current of electricity passing through silver wire will produce a magnetic field around the wire. That electric field would have an effect on a magnet, the principle of a solenoid switch. Copper is usually used in such switches as it is cheaper but silver could be used.
Why does static electricity and wood stick together?
Objects like a dry wood stick does not conduct electricity but they may accumulate electrostatic charges on their surface
What metals can be used as wire because they are?
Metals can be used as wire because they have the ability to conduct electricity, or allow for the movement of electrons from one atom to the next. While some metals are magnetic (have the ability to "stick" to a magnet) and some are not--magnetism is not the variable that dictates whether or not a metal is a good conductor of electricity.
Do all magnetic materials conduct electricity?
Diamagnetic substance contains no unpaired electron therefore charge cannot be transferred through moving free electron--there is no free electron. It is however theoretically possible to force the substance to conduct electricity, by setting potential difference extremely high so that bonded electrons are forced to detach from the atoms. At this point, the substance is no longer diamagnetic.
Do your fingers stick to a magnet?
No, your fingers cannot stick to a magnet. Only iron or steel objects will stick to a magnet. Your fingers do not have those materials, so it will not stick to a magnet.
How do you supercharge a magnet?
You can supercharge a magnet by coiling a metal wire around a magnet then hooking both ends of the wire to a battery. Make sure the wire can conduct electricity and the more coils around the magnet, the better.
