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.

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.
Metal conducts electricity better as it becomes what?
As a metal becomes colder, it generally conducts electricity more efficiently.
Which conducts electricity better copper or water?
water
What conducts electricity better than metals?
Silver
What metal conducts electricity better than copper?
Silver
What is a metalloid called if it conducts electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals?
Probably Water, it conducts but doesnt send the current around a single direction, instead scatters it out.
How do you differentiate a metal from a nonmetal using instrument?
A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
What Type Of Copper Wire Conducts Electricity Best?
The more pure the better. Pure copper.
At room temperature what element conducts electricity better than any other?
Silver (Ag).
Does copper conduct electricity better than stainless steel?
Yes. At normal temperatures copper conducts electricity better than almost any other metal; silver is slightly better.
Is graphite a conductor or insulator?
Graphite is a conductor of electricity, but its conductivity varies greatly with direction: Conduction is high along the plane of the sheets of carbon atoms found in a single crystal of graphite, but much lower perpendicular to this plane.
Is cloth a good conductor of electricity?
No cloth is not a conductor of electricity .It is an insulainsulator
