How many type of conducters?
Can you reword the question? Do you mean insulators, instead of conductors?
Is metal and nonmetal are good conducters?
No because there both different things so that makes them different conducters
Are non metals good conducters of heat?
no they are not. for example they are used as insulators in double glazing and flasks. if they were good conductors this would not work the heat would pass through.
Why are pans made from different metals?
because different metals are better and worse heat conducters
Can zinc be used as an insulator?
Zinc, being a metal, is in most applications a good conducter. Zinc-Oxide, however, is a poor conducter. A comparison of what makes insulators and conducters of electricity, would yield a better answer.
How are conductors and insulators different?
Well, C
What are insulaters and conducters?
Conductors is a thing where an electricity can flow freely while the Insulators is a thing where electricity is not allowed to flow freely.
Insulators offer resistance to the flow of electric current.?
Yes, different grades of insulators can offer different levels of resistance to current flow of electrons within a closed circuit. For instance the flow of current would be different between wood and rubber, both insulators.
Why do birds space themselves evenly when sitting on a wire?
The birds seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to these things. Maybe they've just learned from experience. Think about it, if those two birds touch then they become electricity conducters instead of insulators, and are electricuted.
Can insulators offer resistance to the flow of electric current?
Yes, different grades of insulators can offer different levels of resistance to current flow of electrons within a closed circuit. For instance the flow of current would be different between wood and rubber, both insulators.
What are good materials for conducters?
fiberglass
Are all metals good conducters?
yes
