Good conductor of electricity is – (1) dry air (2) paper (3) kerosene (4) graphite

1 Answer

Answer :

(4) graphite Explanation: Graphite has a tendency to behave very much like a metal because the carbon molecules arrange themselves into a lattice structure. The crystal lattice is the same orientation that metal forms, and it allows the free-movement of electrons, making it a good electrical conductor. The characteristics possesses by the graphite for conduction is far better than the dry air paper and kerosene and that's what makes it a good conductor.
