I believe you're fishing for "resistance" as the answer, but it's not correct to say
that it "slows down" conduction.
The current that flows in a high-resistance conductor flows just as fast as it does
through a copper bar, but in doing so, it loses more energy to the conductor, which
shows up as heating of the conductor.
What else can I help you with?
How can you slow down the process of conduction?
You can slow down the process of conduction by increasing the distance between the objects that are transferring heat, reducing the temperature gradient between the objects, and using materials with low thermal conductivity. Additionally, insulating materials can help reduce heat transfer through conduction by creating a barrier that limits the flow of heat.
How does an iron cool down?
An iron cools down by losing heat energy to its surroundings through conduction, convection, and radiation. As the iron's temperature decreases, the molecules inside the iron slow down, resulting in a reduction of its thermal energy.
What happens to materials when they cool?
When materials cool down, their molecules lose energy and slow down, leading to a decrease in temperature. This can cause changes in the material's structure, such as solidification of liquids or decreased volume of gases. In some cases, cooling can also result in the formation of crystals or new phases within the material.
How does body temperature affect the conduction speed of an electrical impulse?
An increase in body temperature can lead to faster conduction speed of electrical impulses in the body due to improved nerve function and reduced resistance in the nerve fibers. Conversely, a decrease in body temperature can slow down conduction speed as nerve function is impaired.
What happens to the speed of particles when the size is increased?
When the size is increased, the speed of particles typically decreases because the average distance they have to travel becomes greater, leading to more collisions and interactions that slow them down. This is due to increased friction and surface area that slows down the movement of particles.
What is the purpose of insulation?
The purpose of insulation, I think, is to stop or slow down conduction. I am still trying to figure out why...

What is the meterial that slows the conduction of heat?
paper towel, tin foil, and newspapers. Those are the materials to slow conduction.
What is the ability of a substance to oppose or slow down electric current?
Insulators typically slow the movement of electrons through an electric current. Bad conductors, such as rubber, can be used to slow, stop, and/or redirect electric current.CommentInsulators do not 'slow down', 'stop', or 'redirect' current! Simply put, insulators don't have enough charge carriers to support conduction.
Why is the United Nations rewarding countries that slow down deforestation?
because deforestation has increased greenhouse gas emissions

Does one's temperature have an effect on his reflexes?
Yes, body temperature can affect the speed of nerve conduction, which in turn can influence reflex response times. Generally, lower temperatures slow down nerve conduction and may result in slower reflexes, while higher temperatures can speed up nerve conduction and reflexes.

Can adenosine slow sinus tachycardia?
Yes, adenosine can slow sinus tachycardia by blocking AV nodal conduction. It works by activating adenosine receptors in the heart, which leads to hyperpolarization of the cardiac cells and ultimately slowing down the heart rate.

Why do Slow down and slow up mean the same?
I think you mean slow down and speed up. slow down =slow, speed up=fast
