Does a hollow metal tube conduct as good as a solid rod of the same material?

as in solid rod there has more free electrons which will cause more current than a hollow metal tube of same dia/length/material.

What is stronger a round steel pipe or a steel hollow square bar?
By stronger, we need to define the loading conditions of the rod or pipe. The strength of a rod or pipe is typically evaluated with axial, transverse (bending), and torsion loads. With the same diameter and the same material, a solid rod is stronger than a hollow pipe. However, with the same weight and material, the hollow pipe is stronger than a solid rod. Because a hollow pipe is lighter than a solid rod at the same diameter, the hollow pipe would have a larger diameter in order to match weights with the solid rod and a larger diameter rod or pipe is stronger than a smaller diameter one.
What metals can't conduct electricity?
By definition, a solid metal, including liquid mercury, in its elemental form should conduct electricity. Under what condition a metal cannot conduct electricity? Normally when a metal is oxidized, the result is highly resistive, but then the oxide film (such as rust) is no longer considered metallic. Some metals, such as sodium, don't normally exist in its elemental form in nature. If these metals are somehow kept out of trouble (air), they too should conduct electricity. ==================================
Is copper a good building material?
yes it is a good building material if you are trying to sculpt because if you want to make something solid and strong then you should not use cooper because it is a soft metal and is good for layering it on a different metal and carving into the cooper.
What is stronger solid shaft or hollow shaft?
Depends on what you mean by "better". For the same dimensions, a solid shaft will be a bit stronger, but also a lot heavier. If you were to make a hollow shaft of the same weight, but a bigger diameter, it'd be a lot stronger than the solid shaft.
What is solid slab?
A solid slab is either solid concrete foundation or a flat solid wood door as opposed to a hollow core or a panel door.
Does a hollow tube of metal conduct electricity as good as a solid bar of the same metal?
Depends on the frequency. The higher the frequency the more the current has a tendency to stick to the surface. But for the most common frequencies cross-section area is more important for conductivity than solid or hollow.
A substance that does not conduct electricity as a solid but does conduct electricity when melted is most likely classified as?
An Ionic Compund
Why are hollow tubes used instead of solid steel tubes?
For the same amount of metal, hollow tubes are much stronger than solid tubes.
Are metal flagpoles hollow?
it depends, some netal poles on traffic lights are hollow and those with flags are solid
Can you name me an example of a solid?
stone hollow blocks steel rock metal
What is the thickness of a front-door supposed to be- hollow-solid?
Wood doors are generally 1 3/4" solid for exterior doors. Metal exterior doors are hollow.
Can density determine if an object is hollow?
If we know the material that makes up the object, we will also know the density of the material. By measuring the volume and mass of the object, it is possible to find out if it is solid or hollow. This will only work if we know the material and we know the density of the material.
Is nickel viscous?
no. nickel is a solid metal and not viscous material.

Does solid chlorine conduct electricity?
no it doesnt because chlorine is a non metal so it wont conduct an sort of commnicatio especially electriciaty.
