Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Elements that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
semiconductors
Are scissors conductors?
They are Conductors, not much for insulation though. Differences between conductors and insulators? Conductors let energy such as electricity .
Which has a higher resistance insulators or conductors?
No, the resistance of an insulator is very high.
Substance in between conductors and insulators used in transistors?
Semiconductors
How are materials classified on the basis of resistivity?
Conductors, semiconductors and insulators.....
Materials that are sometimes classified as insulators and sometimes as conductors are called?
semiconductors
What is a good example of a non insulator?
There are conductors, semiconductors and insulators. Conductors and semiconductors could be considered noninsulators, so I would say copper but if you want to use semiconductors instead you can say something like doped gallium.
Are nonmetals semiconductors?
Some are, such as silicon and germanium. Others are non-conductors known as insulators, such as glass.
Do nonmetals tend to be just as good conductors as metal?
No, nonmetals tend to be insulators. Some (e.g. carbon) are poor conductors. Semiconductors (e.g. silicon and germanium) in their pure form are insulators but when doped with the right impurities can conduct as good as metals. This is why they are called semiconductors.
What shows how conductors insulators superconductors and semiconductors rank in order of least resistance to most resistance?
The sequence is as follows:
What properties do metals non-metals and semi-conductors have in common?
They generally look metallic but are brittle (not malleable or ductile). Neither good conductors or insulators but they are semiconductors.
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Why do you use semiconductor why not conductors and insulators by changing their properties?
We use semiconductors instead of conductors and insulators by changing their properties because the properties of a semiconductor lies between that of a good insulator ant that of a good conductor. Any of the materials obtained depends on the level of doping.
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
Can electric charges travel through wires?
Electric charges can travel through solids, liquids, or gases. They can travel through conductors, insulators, and semiconductors.
