What is a good conductor of thermal energy?
Substances that allows the flow of heat energy through it are known as good conductors of heat energy. Most metals are good conductors of heat energy. Most nonmetals are not a good conductors of heat energy. Interestingly, the best metal at conducting heat is silver, which is slightly better than copper, but it is nowhere nearly as good as diamond, which can conduct heat as much as five times as well, and is not a metal. Go figure.
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)
Does steel copper brass aluminum or nickel melt the fastest?
I would think heat conveys much like electricity, the greater the number of "free' electrons the less resistance to the heat , therefore copper would be faster then the other three choices.
Is aluminum an insulator of electricity?
NO! Like all metals, aluminum is a conductor, not an insulator.A2: Most metals conduct electricity well. Silicon and Germanium don't. Aluminum is pretty good, but not as good as copper. When aluminum oxidizes, though, it forms bauxite (Al 2O 3) . This is a very hard, non-conductive coating. Aluminum wiring develops poor connections, causing heat, and fires. It must therefore have some antioxidant gel placed on all connections, or be copper plated, by the new underwriter's rules.
A material that is conducts heat well is most likely?
Metals conduct heat and electricity well.
Does aluminum steel or copper conduct the most heat?
Of the three, copper is the most effective conductor.
Why copper cable better than aluminium cable?
Copper cable doesn't conduct as well as Aluminum , but for most applications, Copper doesn't heat up as quickly as Aluminum, and is stronger in tensile strength. Also when using Aluminum cable you need to use an oxide to help conduct as Aluminum will work loose from locks in time.
What are the best mediums to conduct electricity?
Most metals are well known to be good conductors of heat. Examples of such metals are aluminum and copper. Objects that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators.
What is a good heat conductor?
Copper and aluminum. Most heat sinks are made of Aluminum (cheap and a good conductor of heat).
What are some materials that conduct?
Some materials that conduct include gold, wood, steel, water, and even copper. Most metals conduct well and are used to carry heat or electricity. Aluminum is another metal that conducts well.
What are some matriales that conduct a lot of heat?
Stuff like copper and steel. Most of the metals conduct heat well.
Does a metal conduct heat readily?
Most of them do it quite well, copper very well
Does foil conduct electricity?
If it's a metallic foil, it will conduct electricity in most cases. Aluminum, copper, gold, etc.

Which element is most likely to conduct heat and electricity?
Diamond,Silver and Copper.
Whats a good conductor of heat?
Copper and aluminum. Most heat sinks are made of Aluminum (cheap and a good conductor of heat).
Can aluminum paint conduct electricity?
Yes all metals conduct heat and electricity.
