Aluminium conducts electricity about the same as copper, maybe a very small amount less and about five times better than iron if all three metals were of the same thickness and temperature.
Conductivity also relies on cross sectional area. That means that thicker wires conduct electricity better than thinner ones. The trouble with foil is that it is thin. It will conduct the electricity but, if it is left as a single layer, it will heat and may burn (yes, metals burn).
If you break the battery contacts in a flashlight (torch) then fold up some aluminum foil and stuff it between the battery and the metal contact. My remote for the TV worked on this principal for years when I was at university.
Aluminium foil conducts electricity well.
What else can I help you with?
Is silver foil a conductor of electricity?
no
Is foil an electrical conductor?
Yes, foil is an electrical conductor because it is made of metal, which is a good conductor of electricity. It can be used to create electrical connections or shield electronic components from interference.
Is aluminium foil is a conductor or an insulator?
no
Is cooking foil a thermal conductor?
yes
Is floil an insulator or a conductor?
What is floil? Do you mean aluminum foil? If so, metals conduct heat fairly well.
Is aluminium foil a Conductor or an Insulator?
Aluminium foil is a conductor of electricity. Due to its metallic properties, it allows electrical currents to flow through it easily.
Is aluminum foil a better heat conductor than metal?
Aluminum foil is a type of metal and it is generally a good conductor of heat. However, compared to other metals like copper and silver, aluminum foil is not as good of a heat conductor. Copper and silver have higher thermal conductivities compared to aluminum.
Is aluminum foil a conductor or insulator?
Insulator or conductor depending on the circumstances. Aluminum foil conducts heat, but it cuts off air flow and reduces evaporation of fluids. Aluminum foil reflects and thus minimizes radiation transmission. With foods it is more useful as an insulator. It also acts as an insulator on windows. But, aluminum is definitely a good heat conductor.
Is cooking foil a conductor or insulator?
Cooking foil is a conductor of electricity. It allows electricity to flow through it easily due to its high conductivity. This is why caution should be taken when using foil near electrical appliances to prevent any accidents.
Is aluminum foil a good conductor for electricity or heat?
ya
Why is foil a good insulator?
Foil is considered to be a good insulator since it has the ability to reflect radiation. However, aluminium foil is commonly used as a conductor and not an insulator.
Is aluminum foil an insulator or a conductor of heat?
it is actually a conductor of heat and electricity. you can check by puting some foil on a piece of toast on a really hot day and if you wait a while it will turn into crispy toast.
