Do metals or non metals conduct heat better?
Metals are better conductors and non-metals are better insulators. Metalloids can be either a conductor or an insulator, it depends on the object.
When a charged object touches a conductor what happens?
When a charged object touches a conductor, the charge on the object will distribute itself across the surface of the conductor due to the repulsion or attraction of like and unlike charges. This process helps to neutralize the charge on the object, resulting in an overall even distribution of charge on the conductor.
How can you use a circuit to decide whether an object is a conductor or an insulator?
Well, if you have a functioning (=closed) circuit, and introduce an unknown object, then if the circuit is still functioning (=closed) then the object is a conductor. If it stops working, then it's either an insulator or an very poor conductor.
When an object shares its excess charge with a much larger conductor it is called?
When an object shares its excess charge with a much larger conductor, it is called "charging by induction." This process involves bringing the charged object near the conductor, causing the charges in the conductor to redistribute without direct contact. This results in the neutralization of the excess charge on the object due to the attraction and repulsion of charges in the conductor.
Is water a better conductor of electricity then silver?
no, water is NOT a better conductor of electricity then silver
What is a better conductor a flagpole or a flag?
A flagpole is a better conductor of electricity than a flag since it is typically made of metal which is a good conductor, while a flag is usually made of cloth which is a poor conductor of electricity.
What object is a good conductor of heat?
metal
How can you test if an object is an insulator or a conductor?
😎
Is gold a conductor?
Yes gold is. It is because it is a metal object. Silver is the best conductor while a lot of gold can conductor awesomely.
What is the name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?
A conductor is a substance that conducts heat or electricity.
Which is better a insulator or conductor to transfer heat?
By definition, a conductor.
Is water a better conductor than plastic?
No, water is not a better conductor of electricity than silver.Water can become a better conductor in acidic medium(by decreasing its pH). But it may split up into Hydrogen & Oxygen.
