What else can I help you with?
Are metals a bad conductor of electricity?
No. Metals are good electrical conductors.
Is matter a good or bad conductor of electricity?
That depends on what type of matter to which you are referring to. Things such as metal or water are excellent conductors. On the other hand, rubber and other such materials are very poor in conducting electricity.
Define bad conductors of electricity?
Bad conductors of electricity are materials that do not easily allow the flow of electric current. They have high resistance to the movement of electrons, resulting in very low conductivity. Materials like rubber, glass, and plastic are considered bad conductors of electricity.
What is the characteristic of a material that hinders electron flow?
It is called resistance Good conductors have a bad resistance While bad conductors or insulators have good resistance against the flow of electricity
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
How does plastic over metal wires prevent being electrocuted?
Plastic is a bad conductor of electricity. Metals are good conductors of electricity. You get the metal wires coated by plastic. So when you touch the wire, you do not get the electric current. This nature of the plastic protects you from getting electrocuted.
Bad conductors of electricity?
rubber
What are the properties of electricity?
good conductors of heat bad insulators low resistence high conductivity
Is a plastic bag a good conductor?
No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.
What are some examples of poor insulators?
In general, metal or anything else that conducts heat or electricity well is a bad insulator.
What are the electrical properties of metal?
Metals are good conductors of electricity due to the presence of free electrons that can move freely within the metal lattice. They have low electrical resistance, high thermal conductivity, and can easily transfer electric charge. Metals also tend to have low electron affinity, allowing them to readily lose electrons and become positively charged ions.
What is the difference between conduct and insulate?
Insulation is keeping the heat inside, trapping it and not letting out. Conduction is letting a flow, such as electricity, pass through the material. for example, metal is a wonderful conductor of heat and electricity, but a bad insulator. However, wool is a good insulator and a bad conductor. :) hope that helps!
