Brass is conductive. It's an alloy of copper and zinc, both of which conduct electricity ( pure copper is better, though).

Are brass ammunition cases conductive?
Yes. Brass is a conductor.
Why is metal used for the pins of an electric plug?
Probably because brass is generally tarnish resistant /doesn't discolour so easily Although brass is not as conductive as silver, copper, and aluminum it is less expensive to make and generally easier to work with.
Is osmium conductive?
Yes, osmium is a metal and is conductive.
How is conductive ink is made?
The conductive ink contain a very fine powder of graphite or other conductive material.
What two classes of elements are conductive?
Metals and metalloids are conductive.
Are brass ammunition cases conductive?
Yes. Brass is a conductor.
Is brass least conductive?
no, rubber is
Is 360 brass conductive?
silver is 1st copper 2nd gold 3rd brass 4th al 5th
What is most conductive steel brass lead aluminuim copper?
copper
Is brass a non conductive material?
No, it will conduct electricity. It contains copper, one of the better conductors.
Is brass good at conducting electricity?
All metals are electrically conductive.
How can you prove copper is more conductive than brass?
Test it with the circuit and see which one lights up the bulb fastest.
Can you use brass as a dialectric union between copper and black iron pipe?
No, brass cannot be used as a dielectric union between copper and black iron pipe. Dielectric unions are typically made of materials that are not electrically conductive, such as plastic or rubber. Brass is a conductive material and would not provide insulation against galvanic corrosion between copper and black iron pipe.
What is the difference between plating and coating?
Plating is used for conductive materials while coating is used for non-conductive materials. My brass horn is silver plated while patio table is plastic coated.
In a corrosive environment where a conductive metal is required is brass or stainless steel better?
Brass has better conduction than stainless steel. being roughly 65 percent copper which is one of the best conductors (thermal and electrical)
What are doorbells typically made from?
A doorbell consists of a solenoid and a piston. These can be made from a variety of plastics and/or conductive metals. Brass is a common example used in doorbells.
Why is metal used for the pins of an electric plug?
Probably because brass is generally tarnish resistant /doesn't discolour so easily Although brass is not as conductive as silver, copper, and aluminum it is less expensive to make and generally easier to work with.
