Is polyester a conductor of static electricity?
Not a good one. The phrase "conductor of static electricity" is basically nonsense. If something conducts electricity, then it conducts electricity.
What best explains why a clothes dryer often generates static electricity?
Damp or moist clothes do not generate static since the moisture is a good conductor. Dry clothes, particularly wool or synthetic fabrics generate a lot of static.
Tell the best and worst conductor of electricity?
The worst conductor would be rubber and the best metallic conductor would be silver
Why doesn't wood and metal attract to static electricity?
Static electricity is a build up of electrons. Static means still or stationary. Electrons on metal can not be stationary as the metal is such a good conductor of electricity. To remove static electricity after dragging your feet on a nylon carpet just touch a metal appliance or pipe eg a tap. Wood is generally porous so electrons again do not build up but ebony will build a static charge as it is a very dense wood. Electrons build up on plastic as it is a poor conductor. The electrons are static and a charge builds. Static electricity is caused by electrons being knocked off or building up on objects that are not normally good conductors.
Would a gold ring be a good conductor of electricity?
Yes - one of the best. Gold is an extremely good conductor of electricity.
Is polyester a conductor of static electricity?
Not a good one. The phrase "conductor of static electricity" is basically nonsense. If something conducts electricity, then it conducts electricity.
Is gold or copper the second best conductor of electricity?
Copper is the second best conductor of electricity with low static resitivity (high conductivity) of 1.68 E-8. Gold is next with resitivity of 2.44 e -8
Is sodium the best conductor of electricity?
yes, sodium is the best conductor of electricity
Is steel the best conductor of electricity?
NO. Silver is the best conductor of electricity. (That is why it is used in satellites).
Is a rug a insulator?
No it is a very good conductor actually. It can cause static electricity.
Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.
What best explains why a clothes dryer often generates static electricity?
Damp or moist clothes do not generate static since the moisture is a good conductor. Dry clothes, particularly wool or synthetic fabrics generate a lot of static.
How do electrons behave in a conductor when no voltage is applied?
when no electricity flow then chare are in condition of static
Why does static electricity and wood stick together?
Objects like a dry wood stick does not conduct electricity but they may accumulate electrostatic charges on their surface
What does electrica?
Static electricity is the accumulation or build up of electricity charges on the surface of a material, usually an insulator or non-conductor of electricity.
Which element would be the best conductor of electricity?
Silver is the best conductor of electricity, and as it is costly, copper is widely used.
Is metal the best conductor of heat and electricity?
Silver or Argentum (Ag)The best conductor of heat and electricity is silver.
