Does the amount of heat produced depend on the material of the conductor?

Yes, resistance in a conductor causes energy losses due to heat. Metals such as Gold and Platinum have very low resistance but they are very expensive so Copper and Aluminium are used instead which are much more affordable but have higher resistance.

How many years will it take for one half of the original amount of material to decay?
If you are referring to a radioactive material, that will depend on the material. Different things have very different half-lives.
Does the value of thermal conductivity depend on the dimension of the specimen?
Thermal conductivity is an intensive property. It is inherent in the material but not dependent on the amount of material. This should not be confused with the rate of heat conduction which can depend on the dimensions of a material. There is one case where the thermal conductivity might depend on the dimension of the material - when the conductivity is not uniform with direction, i.e. where conductivity laterally is different from conductivity longitudinally. When the orientation of the material changes the conductivity, the dimensions can have an effect on the apparent bulk thermal conductivity.
How would resistance r depend on cross section and length of the material?
Resistance R =p(L /A)i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor will be directly proportional to its length(L) ==> if the length of the conductor increases its resistance also will increase.i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A) ==> if the Area of the conductor increases its resistance also will decrease.
On what factors does the amount of heat produced in an electric wire depend?
-- The resistance of the wire.AND-- The voltage between the ends of the wire.OR-- The current through the wire.
What material does resistance depend on?
guns and money
Does the amount of vomit depend on gender?
No, the amount of barf is contingent upon how much material is in the stomach.
Is sweetness an intensive property?
Sweetness does not depend on the amount of material. It is an intensive property.
Why do each substance have different amount of resistance?
Resistance of a material is depend on the force required to withdraw electrons from the atoms of that material.
The amount of water that flows through a pipe does not depend on?
what type of material the pipe is made out of.
Does the amount of radiation you give off depend on what is inside of you?
Yes. Radiation is emanated from radioactive material, so the amount of radiation that someone "gives off" is a function of how much radioactive material they have inside them.
Is it true or false that characteristic properties of elements do not depend on the amount of material present in a sample of the element?
It is true.

Is density an intensive property or extensive property?
Intensive because it doesn't depend on the amount of material.
Does drift velocity of electron depend on diameter of conductor?
no
