What metal carries electricity well?
Silver is the best, then gold, then copper. All carry electricity very well, gold resists corrosion the best and will last the longest without a cleaning.
Does a wire have to be insulated for electricity to flow?
No, overhead primary wires have no insulation on them and they carry the electricity to the consumers very well. Wires with no insulation on them just need more clearance space around them and between them to prevent the wires from short circuiting to each other or to ground.
What books are about electricity?
No, electricity can not move through paper
What is the difference between lightning and the electricity that you use at home?
There isn't. Thomas Jeffrson couldve Tod you that. Lightning is just a huge charge of electricity from charged up clouds (and the ground, too!)
Why do acids conduct electricity when mixed with distilled water?
When you add an acid to water you make ions, and ions conduct electricity. For instance, if you add hydrochloric acid, HCl to water, you make H+ and Cl- ions in water. Water with ions in it, also called an electrolyte, will conduct electricity. The ions are able to carry charge and they are free to move in the solution.If you add a base to water, the same effect works just as well. All you need to conduct electricity in water is free ions in solution. Adding table salt to water will also work.
What is a substance that carries elecritiy well?
copper conductor of electricity
What r facts about conduction?
well it transfers heat or electricity through a substance
What material conducts electrical energy well?
Copper cables are reputed to carry electricity well.
Why compound does not conduct electricity?
Any substance with free electrons (or free ions in aqueous solutions) can conduct electricity. It explains the fact that all metals conduct electricity well.

Why would ocean water conduct electricity well?
Ocean water would conduct electricity well because of many factors. First, water itself is a fairly good conductor because its electrons are "free moving," meaning that the electrons' bonds are looser and this allows water to carry a charge. Furthermore, ocean water has salt, which gives water a lower boiling rate and there is a direct relationship between a substance's conductivity of temperature and electricity. Simply put, ocean water conducts electricity well because it is salty.
The property of a substance that enables it to conduct electricity may also allow the same substance to conduct heat. An insulator does not conduct heat well. What elements are good insulators?
it is called conductivity if it is carrying electric it is electrical conductivity. If it is carrying Heat it is thermal conductivity.
What does the tidal resource do to produce electricity?
Well, they carry SO MUCH force with them that it's impossible to harness the energy they carry as actual fuel for electricity. So much force, in fact, that it may be impossible, even with increasing technology.
What is the measurement of how well a substance reflects light called?
Luster
What can produce static electricity?
Well, most people would agree that if you rub something against a balloon!It is produced when two different substance are rubbed together....Static Electricity is a form of electricity that does not flow through a wire.
Materials which lets electricity go through them are called?
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.
