    Everything is a good conductor if the voltage is high enough

    High voltage: “I am still taking the path of least resistance. If you wanted me to use a wire, then you should have given me an appropriate wire.”

    Who’s defining low and high here?

      Well, there aren’t any real scientific definitions but there sure are legal and regulatory definitions.

      (I haven’t checked the local requirements but there’s micro voltage, low voltage and high voltage. Micro voltage is basically anything below 12v - for anything above that you need to be a certified electrician. Doubly so if you go to triple digits)

    All paths proportional to their conductivity! However air is very low conductivity until it’s heated to its ionizing point

    Even at low voltages, electricity passes through insulation. It’s just extremely low current.

    High voltage also follows the path of least resistance to lower potential, but the “circuit” is everything within arcing distance.
