What metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
aluminum, copper,
What is shiny element good conductor of thermal energy and electric currents?
a metal
Is a shiny element element a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Yes, this is mostly true. It starts to become untrue near silicon.
The transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic wave?
Electric current
What does the energy carried by an electric current depend on?
The energy carried by an electric current depends on a conductor in order to flow. an Insulator disrupts the flow
Is aluminum an insulator or conductor of thermal energy?
Aluminum is a conductor of thermal energy and electrical energy.
What element is a good conductors of thermal energy and electric current?
a metal
A material that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal?
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
Created around a conductor when electrons flow through that conductor?
Then an 'electrical current' is said to be present in the conductor.
What is the difference between thermal energy and electrical energy?
Thermal energy exists in materials raised to a high temperature, because they can then transfer this energy to materials at lower temperatures. For example , heating radiators transfer energy to the building they are in. Electric energy is basically the movement of free electrons in a conductor, which can then do work such as turn an electric motor, or indeed produce thermal energy in a heating element,
How does electromagnetic induction produce induced current?
Before you can understand how electrical energy is supplied by your electric company, you need to know how it is produced. A magnet and a conductor, such as a wire, can be used to induce a current in the conductor. The key is motion. An electric current is induced in a conductor when the conductor moves through a magnetic field. Generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. Current that is generated in this way is called induced current. To induce a current in a conductor, either the conductor can move through the magnetic field or the magnet itself can move.
What are examples of electrical to thermal energy?
Assuming you mean, "What are examples of the CONVERSION of electrical energy to thermal energy?", then we have electric fires (radiant bar fires, electrical radiators, fan heaters), electric kettle. In fact any electrical device that gives off heat - which is nearly all of them. What happens is that the electrons that constitute the electric current, when they flow through a material that is not a good conductor, get jostled about, bang into each other, and generally cause the poor conductor to shake around (on the molecular scale). This shaking is basically what heat energy is, and is then passed on to neighbouring substances or radiated away.
