∙ 13y agoCopper is a great conductor, it is used in alot of electrical wires therefore it would work much better as a conductor and would probably be the worst insulator
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoAny shape of copper or most of its alloys, such as those used in copper tubing, is an electrical conductor and a good conductor of heat also.

What are the Advantages of air not being a conductor of electricity?
if air is a conductor of electricity ,then everyone will be undergone for great electric shock because air is everywhere . without air we cant live . Air can be a conductor but is a better insulator! An example of it conducting is lightning. If it was not a better insulator we would not be able survive. Another advantage is: the ability to string high voltage wires for the transmission of electricity.
Is a flame an insulator or a conductor?
Flame is composed of very hot gas; as such it would not be used either as an insulator or as a conductor, but one could make an argument that it is a conductor, since it does conduct heat and since it does contain some ionized gas, it can conduct electricity.
Is chair conductor or insulator?
a insalator
Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Can you substitute tungsten for copper?
No you cannot because copper is an extremely well conductor, which implies that energy would simply follow through the copper without dissipating much energy, it would not light up.
Would a copper pipe be better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor.
Would a copper pipe work better a conductor or an insulator?
A copper pipe would work as a conductor because most metals like copper, they are well conductors. If you want to know an example of an insulator, you can say rubber is a good insulator.
Would a copper pipe work as a better conductor or an insulator?
A copper pipe would work as a conductor because most metals like copper, they are well conductors. If you want to know an example of an insulator, you can say rubber is a good insulator.
Would a copper pipe be a conductor or insulator?
Copper is a very efficient conductor
Which would be a better insulator?
copper
Is a key a insulator or a conductor?
A metal key would conduct electricity.
What is the opposite of a conductor?
The opposite of a conductor (conducts electric flow) is a non-conductor, or something that opposes the flow, which would be an insulator.
Is a rubber duck an insulator or a conductor?
an insulator
Would a copper wire act as the best insulator of electric current?
no it is good conductor because it has free electrons
Do you say insulator of heat or bad conductor of heat Which is correct Or both are correct?
well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....
Can zinc be used as an insulator?
Zinc, being a metal, is in most applications a good conducter. Zinc-Oxide, however, is a poor conducter. A comparison of what makes insulators and conducters of electricity, would yield a better answer.
Is a spoon a conductor or insulator?
A metal spoon would be a conductor, but a plastic one would be an insulator.🍴
