The black form of this nonmetal conducts electricity better when light is shined upon it and it is used in Xerox toner?
Selenium is the nonmetal that conducts electricity in its black form when light shines on it. But selenium is not a component of Xerox toner. Selenium is used in the older photoreceptor drums and belts that serve as the equivalent of film in a camera.
Is tar a conductor of electricity?
Tar is a conductor of electricity. This is because tar contains carbon black. Carbon though not a metal is capable of conducting electricity.
What is a black burnable substance mined from earth used for generating electricity same as charcoal?
Coal
Which will cool faster white pot or black pot of boiling water?
the white pan because black gathers heat the white pan because black gathers heat Oddly, both wrong. The black one will cool slightly quicker as black is a better radiator of infrared. Better collectors are also better emitters. The reason it won't make much difference is that both colours are similar at infrared frequencies. If one pan was coloured silver however, it would cool much slower.
Can you drink coffee the morning of your cholesterol test?
Yes, if it's black. It's better to fast completely though.
What black form of this nonmetal conducts electricity better when light is shined upon it so it was used in xerography?
Selenium is a semiconductor with a black form that was used in xerography because it conducts electricity better when light is shined on it. However, use of this material is being phased out.

Would black light break up if it is shined through a prism?
Black light
Is copper a metallic or nonmetallic element?
It is metal as it conducts electricity and it is on the left side of that big black line in the periodic table. It is in fact used in wires for it's conductive properties.
Conductor does not need to be a wire?
It does not. Electricity is not the only form of energy that can be conducted. There are also types of heat conductors. The color black conducts sunlight, until the electrons can not absorb any more photon energy, turning, for example, a black piece of cloth laying in the desert sun, into a bleached white rag. Also, Tesla found that the earth itself can be a conductor of electricity, and so can a human body. I imagine you can make almost anything a conductor, of course some work better than others.
Characteristics of metal?
Hard, shiny, silver/grey/black/white colour, some conducts electricity, some doesn't, hard to bend, different melting points, different chemical build up, coins made from copper and silver, insoluble in water.
What is something that creates and conducts heat?
a black shirt and a solar panel a black car
How do you tell a positive wire from a negative wire on a car?
On the car battery, the positive wire is red and the negative wire is black. If the body of the car is metal or conducts electricity, then the body of the car serves as the negative wire. The metal in the engine serves as the negative wire.
Does black pepper conduct electricity?
yes it does, because black pepper has ions for it to conduct electricity.
What happened if you shined a flashlight away from a black hole and flashed it every second?
Theoretically speaking, if you were inside of the black hole and you flashed a flashlight away from it, nothing would happen. This is because nothing - not even light - can escape from a black hole.
Which element has a black dull surface and it conducts electrical current well A metal non metal or a metalloid?
This element is a metalloid as it has properties (dull but conducts electrical current) from both metals and non-metals.
Is there electricity in a black hole?
No. The only thing "in" a black hole is pure gravitational energy.
