In Reply to: Could glass, stone, or wood be considered semiconductive? posted by Corndog71 on March 13, 2003 at 22:31:26:
It just depends what voltage you want to use.But, the practical / conventional definition for a conductor is the resistivity:
< 10^-4 ohm-cm are conductors (mostly metals)
10^-4 to 10^10 ohm-cm are semi-conductors (mostly ceramic based)
> 10^10 ohm-cm are dielectrics (wood, glass, stone, air, etc.)
