Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Good conductors of heat and electricity?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are some conductors for heat?
All metals are good conductors of heat.
What makes something a good conductor of heat?
Good heat conductors are drinking glass.
Which substance are usually good conductors of heat and electricity?
Metals are usually good conductors of heat and electricity.
Are good conductors of heat good conductors of electricity?
They aren't necessarily good conductors of both (like diamond, which is a good conductor of heat, but not electricity) Graphite is one that is both, but most of them are metals.
Why is metal a heat conducter?
because it's a good heat conducter Electric conductors tend to be good heat conductors, but the above seems reasonable.
What are some good conductors and bad ones?
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water
Is air good conductors of heat?
No, it is not.
Are good conductors of heat?
Most of the metals are effective conductors of heat.They conduct heat without much loss in energy and quickly.Copper, silver are among best conductors of heat.metals are good conductor of heat.
What good conductors of heat?

Which matter is the conducter of electric but insulater of heat?
Normally, materials which are good conductors of electricity are also good conductors of heat. This is because both electrical conductivity and heat conductivity is enhanced by mobile electrons, thus making metals both good electrical conductors and good heat conductors. However, I do not know if there might be an exception...
