How much electricity can metal conduct?
It depends on the type of metal. The ability of a metal to conduct electricity is one trait that identifies a metal. For example, copper can conduct electricity very well (better than most metals).
What materials conduct heat and electricity?
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
Why should you not use the same type of metal to test conduct?
Because if the two metal touch each other they would not conduct electricity!
Is a gold ring a good conductor of electricity?
A gold ring can conduct electricity since gold is a metal and all metals conduct electricity. Gold, in fact, is the third most conductive element.
What is having the ability to conduct electricity or heat?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.The metal conduct electricity because they have unbound electrons (or valence electrons) that can conduct the electricity as the electrons can move. Similarly, they conduct heat because the electrons are free to vibrate which causes neighbouring electrons to vibrate and so on along the entire piece of metal. These vibrations cause the metal to conduct the heat.Graphite, a type of carbon, is also a good conductor of electricity. Graphite is soot.
Does aluminum foil conduct electricity?
I tried using it on my secret invention called "the potato battery" and it powered my flashlight so yes it will
Does camphor conduct electricity?
No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.
What type of elements is platinum?
Platinum is a transition metal. Transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.
Why is it important that the material around wire be made of a substance other than a metal?
The coating on a wire is there to insulate it from contact with people, and other wires. The material will always be conducting. Good materials are rubber, plastics, glass. Metal would be the worst type of outer materials because it would conduct the electricity.
Is a magnet a insulator or conductor of electricity?
Assuming you mean electrical conductor / insulator, most bar magnets are made of solid metal, either iron, neodymium or an alloy of aluminium nickel and cobalt, so they conduct electricity. There is one type of magnet called a ferrite magnet which does not conduct electricity - they are the type often found in loudspeakers.
What type of material does not conduct heat or electricity?
Yes,it is the plastics,wood.our clothes that donot conduct heat or electricity
Why does wood catch fire if it is bad conductor?
Wood is a poor conductor(non-electrolyte) because it doesn't have free moving ions to conduct the electricity.
