Yes. But, compared to what? Better than lead but not as good as silver.

Is iron nail a thermal insulator?
No, it is a conductor. Get one end hot, the heat is conducted to the other end pretty quickly.
Does a nail conduct heat?
Yes, most metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity. Nails would not be the best choice. They are usually made of steel which is an iron alloy. Steel has a thermal conductivity between 36 - 52 W/(m K). Copper for example can range between 385 - 401 W/(m K). This means that copper is ten times better at being a thermal conductor as steel.
Is a nail a good conductor of electricity?
It entirely depends upon what metal, or more likely metal compound, the nail is made out of. However, as with anything made of metal, you can be fairly sure it will be a good conductor of electricity no matter what it's made from.
Which has more force of attraction an iron nail a piece of chalk and a rubber band?
an iron nail
Is a iron nail magnetic?
An iron nail will be attracted to magnets. But it itself will not attract other metals unless it has been magnetized through a certain procedure.
Is an iron nail a good conductor of electricity?
yes
Is an iron nail a insulator or a conductor?
Like all metals, iron is a conductor.
Which object is the best conductor of electricity a wax crayon a plastic spoon a rubber eraser or an iron nail?
iron nail
Which of it is good conductor wood or an iron nail why?
an iron nail, because it is an iron not like a wood that can easily break... from grade 7- Respectfulness claver national high school
Is iron nail a thermal insulator?
No, it is a conductor. Get one end hot, the heat is conducted to the other end pretty quickly.
Is a copper nail an insulators?
Copper is a very good conductor for heat and electricity.
What happens when you add heat to an iron nail?
When you add heat to an iron nail it will get hot. If enough heat energy is added the nail could melt.
Is a nail an insulator or conductor?
both. most are conductors but some now made today are insulators which are mostly used in carpentry. but common nails are conductors.give me trust point? (:Conductor as they are made from metal.
How good is metal a conductor?
Metal is a very good conductor, because it transefers electricity, through its atoms. Kind of like how water is a strong conductor. This is so because of the amount of iron a item has. rubber is a insulator because is has very low iron, and wood is also, unless it has a metal nail in it, of course.
Is a iron nail a conductor or insulator?
it would be a conductor, as most metal conducts electricity.
Is a copper nail a conductor insulator?
Copper is a good electrical and thermal conductor.
Does a nail conduct heat?
