A heat conductor is a material that moves heat energy between two points, and does so without involving fluid motion (convection), and without significant point-to-point radiation.
Some examples of conductors of heat are....
- metal
- steel
- black paint
- plastic
what is a conductor
What else can I help you with?
What three conductors are used at homes?
electricity, heating and cooking (i think)
Can you define Conductors?
Conductors pull heat away from the component you are protecting from heat created from current flow. Keeping it safe from over heating and damaging itself.
Why is the coil of heating element of a heater made from a metal?
Because metals are good heat conductors !
Which device produces electrical current resulting from heating of two dissimilar conductors?
A thermocouple device produces electrical current as a result of heating two dissimilar conductors junctions. When there is a temperature difference between the two junctions, it generates a voltage that can be measured as an electrical signal.
What causes overheating and fires associated with overloaded circuites?
When a circuit is overloaded, the wires gain a lot of heat over a short time. The heating can cause sparks and shorting and these can in turn set up fires if they come into contact with combustible materials.
Experiment to prove that gases are poor thermal conductors?
There are many experiments you can perform in order to prove that gases are poor thermal conductors. You can try heating up an enclosed space from the top and feeling the bottom for example.
How is conductors used in everyday?
Conductors are used in everyday life for various purposes, such as transmitting electricity in power lines, heating food in a microwave oven, and charging electronic devices with a USB cable. Conductors allow for the flow of electric current due to their ability to carry and transfer electrons easily.
Why are metals not used for heating?
Metals are exallent conductors of electricity due to the free valence electrons, however some metals can be used for heating to e.g. kettle. Coils in the kettle are large resisters which heat up the water. it comes down to what you actually mean why are metals nat used for heating because some are.
What are conductOR of heat?
Most of the metals are effective conductors of heat.They conduct heat without much loss in energy and quickly.Copper, silver are among best conductors of heat.metals are good conductor of heat.
What are solar conductors?
Solar conductors are materials that conduct and transfer heat within a solar thermal energy system. They are used to capture sunlight and convert it into heat energy, which can then be used for heating water or generating electricity. Common materials used as solar conductors include metal tubes, pipes, and plates that are designed to efficiently absorb and transfer solar energy.
Do conductors have low resistance?
Conductors have low resistance. Recall Ohm's law. The higher the conductor resistance, the greater the voltage drop along the conductor, and the less voltage that is available for the load. The conductor resistance is a resistance in series with the load. Also, higher conductor resistance results in more electrical power being converted into heat, warming up the conductors. This is calculated with the formula P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the power wasted heating the conductors.
What are conductors insulators and semi conductors and super conductors?
