Non conductors in the periodic table?
Generally, non metals are non conductors (with exceptions such as graphite, fullerene etc)
Which materials are the best electrical conductors?
Metals are the best conductors, Copper, Silver, and Gold for example.
Which metals are the best electrical conductors?
Copper is best
What is meant by minimum electrical clearance?
The minimum electrical clearance is the minimum distance between electrical conductors with different potentials (voltage). This generaly determined by the maximum possible voltage differenge between the conductors. Dimensions larger then the minimum electrical clearance are OK, however smaller dimensions start to risk arc-over between your conductors.
What do all conductors of electricity have in common?
The best conductors of electricity have that they are all metals in common.
What does an electrical insulator have?
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
Bad heat conductors?
most non metals like polystyrene and lots of plastics from your mum a friend
Why are electrical and electronic appliances made of both conductors and non-conductors?
It obviously uses conductors to carry electricity through the system however non-conductive material is used for the reason of safety, organization of electrical components, and mechanical work.
Which property of both carbon nad silicon are unexpected?
They are both good electrical conductors which is unusual as non-metals are normally not very good electrical conductors.
What insulates better aluminum or plastic?
Plastic. In general, metals are good conductors, plastics are bad conductors. You didn't specify whether you wanted heat insulation or electrical insultation, but the above applies to both.
Are all elements good electrical conductors?
No. Non-metals are very poor conductors, and with the exception of Neon, so are the gaseous elements.
Electrical conductors-what do non-conducting materials lack?
Freely moving 'conduction' electrons that exist in all metals since metals are good conductors of thermal and electrical energy ... These electrons collide other electrons in the body allowing a better transfer of heat and electricity, unlike insulators or 'non-conductors' that use molecules to transfer the energy across their different parts...
What does an electrical current flow in?
Electrical conductors.
What type of resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have a (low) Electrical resistance.
What is Electrical sheathing?
Electrical Sheathing is various forms of metallic or non-metallic covering over conductors. Nonmetallic-Sheathed Cable is what is known by the brand name Romex.
What are some examples where electrical conductors are used for?
Electrical conductors are used in wiring. They allow electricity to flow through the wire and into the item needing the electrical power. Wires are usually made of copper or aluminum because these metals are good electrical conductors.
What are some good conductors and bad ones?
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water
