Why is copper a better condutor of heat than iron?
Copper(Cu) is unstable while Iron(Fe) is stable.Then Cu has max free electrons than Fe. Hence Copper is good conductor than Iron.
Which is the least conductor among iron copper aluminum?
Between iron, copper, and aluminum, copper is the best, followed by aluminum, and last by iron. Gold is often plated over other metals because it is even better and resists corrosion.
What metal is the best conductor of heat aluminium iron or brass?
Aluminum have better thermal conductivity than ironAluminum: 205W/(m K)Iron: 80 W/(m K)
Iron is a good conductor of electricity?
No, iron is a very poor conductor compared to other metals such as aluminum and copper
Which conducts heat faster iron or brass?
Aluminium is a better conductor than brass, it heats up first! We did it in a science experiment, you can trust this answer!!
Why is most wires made from copper not iron?
Copper is a much better electrical conductor than iron.
What it meant by good conductor?
.Something that carries something better than average. For example, copper is a good conductor of electricity. Iron is a good conductor of heat.

What is a better conductor copper or iron?
Given the context of your question i can only assume you are referring to the CORE of an electromagnet. In that case, the more dense the magnetic material you are using the better. In the case of Copper,while dense, it's very weakly magnetic and does not make an effective core. Steel is an alloy and while harder than Iron, is not as dense. Iron, being a denser magnetic material, makes a very effective core for an electromagnet to wrap your insulated copper wires around. I would suggest using Iron; however steel should also work for the purposes of demonstrating the concept of an electromagnet.
Which is a better conductor of heat iron or alcohol?
Iron is good conductor
Iron is a good conductor of electricity?
No, iron is a very poor conductor compared to other metals such as aluminum and copper
What are example of conductor of electricity?
iron, copper, silver
Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?
Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.
Which metals are not conductor?
All are conductive iron materials. Gold. copper. Aluminum. Iron. And … . . . . .
Is iron a poor conductor of heat and electrity?
Not a poor conductor. But conductivity is less compared to copper.
