Question

Can a rubbing alcohol conduct electric current?

Answer 1

Yes, but only to an EXTREMELY limited extent!

Explanation:

Technically, nothing "doesnt conduct" electricity (i.e. nothing has a conductivity of 0.00000), but some materials have much lower conductivities than others. People often regard those materials with very low conductivities as non-conductive....technically not quite correct.

The conductvity of isopropyl alcohol (which is commonly the major component of rubbing alcohol) is typically 6 `muS.m^-1`, so it is very low (typical value for a metal would be multiple millions of `S.m^-1`!).

So the answer is: yes, but it just does it to an EXTREMELY small extent, so small that most people would regard it as non-conductive.
