Which type of solid is likely to be the best conductoe of electric current?
The best conductor of electricity is silver, followed by copper and gold.
Is krypton the best conductor of electricity?
No, krypton is not a good conductor of electricity. It is a noble gas and is categorized as an insulator. It does not easily allow the flow of electric charge through it.
Why electric field lines are always perpendicular to the surface of the conductor?
to save the static character of conductor in the presence of electric field
What is the term used for the hindrance a conductor creates to the flow of electric current?
Resistance is the hindrance a conductor creates to the flow of electric current
How well does zinc conduct electricity?
All metals conduct electricity and heat. Zinc is a good electric conductor and it is also fairly cheap compared to other conducting metals.
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
What is the element is the best conductor of electric current?
silver
Which metals are the best conductor of electric?
If the volume and length of the wire are constant, then silver. If the weight and length of the wire are constant, then sodium is the best conductor.
Why is steel not used for electric wires?
Because steel is not a good conductor of electricity. Copper is the best conductor for electricity.
When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?
current
Is gold the best conductor of electric field?
Electric fields are not "conducted", but gold is not the best conductor of electricity per volume, or per mass. Silver has the highest conductivity per mass, and aluminum the highest per volume.
Which type of soild is likely to be the best conductor of electric current?
GOLD IS THE VERY BEST CONDUCTOR, but for the money copper is better than aluminum and worth the extra cost.
Why you get electric shock when current flows opposite direction in a conductor?
When current flows in a conductor you do not get an electric shock provided you do not touch the conductor.
Is a lightning rod an electric conductor or an insulator?
conductor
What metal is usually used for wires in electric circuit?
Copper. Because 1, it is A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY, AND 2, IT IS A MALLEABLE (BENDS EASILY) METAL.
Which type of solid is likely to be the best conductoe of electric current?
The best conductor of electricity is silver, followed by copper and gold.
Is krypton the best conductor of electricity?
No, krypton is not a good conductor of electricity. It is a noble gas and is categorized as an insulator. It does not easily allow the flow of electric charge through it.
