Materials such as silver and copper are said to be good insulators?
No, they are good conductor. Insulator is something electricity and heat can't pass through easily. e.g. wood, rubber Conductor is something electricity and heat can easily pass through. e.g. iron, silver, copper
What metal is the best conductor of heat aluminium iron or brass?
Aluminum have better thermal conductivity than ironAluminum: 205W/(m K)Iron: 80 W/(m K)
The copper is an insulator?
yes copper is actually a very good insulator to both heat and electric conducting A2: NO. Copper is about the second-best electrical conductor, next to silver. It is also a very Good heat conductor. Try heating an iron poker in a fire. The heat travels slowly to the opposite end. A copper wire, however, if stuck in the fire, will transfer heat Very quickly--you won't be able to hold the other end of it! wikipedia.org/copper
Why is copper a better condutor of heat than iron?
Copper(Cu) is unstable while Iron(Fe) is stable.Then Cu has max free electrons than Fe. Hence Copper is good conductor than Iron.
Which conducts heat faster iron or brass?
Aluminium is a better conductor than brass, it heats up first! We did it in a science experiment, you can trust this answer!!
A good heat conductor is a?
Copper, aluminum, gold, iron, silver, lead, tin, platinum, nickel, tungsten A and example of a good conductor of heat is a metal.
Is silver poor conductor of heat?
No, silver is not a poor conductor of heat. It is actually a decent conductor of heat, and it conducts heat better than both iron and copper.
5 example of good conductor of heat?
Some good conductores of heat are metal, iron, gold, silver, aluminum, brass, silicoborates, wax, steal, copper, nickel, and water.
What are example of conductor of electricity?
iron, copper, silver

Aluminum have better thermal conductivity than ironAluminum: 205W/(m K)Iron: 80 W/(m K)
Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?
Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.

Is iron a poor conductor of heat and electrity?
Not a poor conductor. But conductivity is less compared to copper.
Is water a best conductor of heat?
Not exactly. That is why it warms up with heat. A good conductor of heat like copper or iron is best conductor in comparision to water.
Which warms up faster when heat is applied iron or silver?
Silver. because silver is good conductor of heat.
Why is a good conductor of electricity also a good conduct of heat?
copper , iron , metal
