No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.

What are electrodes?
an electrode is a metal strip which is used in a coducting solution or substance to pass electricity through it and conduct electricity.
What is conduction of heat and give examples of 2 materials that are good conductors?
conduction of heat is when lets the flow of electricity run through. Two good conductors are water and metal. Like when a metal spoon gets hot when you put it in soup. but plastic does not do that
What is the definition of conductors and insulators?
A conductor is a material that can transfer energy efficiently and and insulator is the opposite.Conductor means something that blocks it and insulator means something that can go through itA conductor easily transfers energy in the form of electricity and/or heat, while an insulator does not easily transfer these types of energy.In electricity, a conductor is a material that can let current pass through and an insulator does not let current pass through,or rather copper is a conductor and plastic is an insulator.A insulator is something that will not allowheat/electricity to pass through it and a conductor is something that allows heat/electricity to pass through it.
Does electricity flow through steel?
Yes steel is conductive, any ferris metal is a conductor and electricity can pass through it. however, it will not conduct as well as aluminum or copper.
Name an allotrope of a non-metal which allows electricity to pass through it?
Graphite which is a crystalline allotrope of carbon conducts electricity because of the presence of free mobile electrons occassioned by their planar structure.
What material allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily Give two examples.?
metal and metal and plastic
Can heat and electricity pass through metals?
Yes, heat and electricity can pass through metals.
What can produced electricity?
Well, Many things can produce electricity. An easy way to produce electricity is to get a coil and pass a bar magnet through it.
What materials allow heat to pass through and electricity?
metals have the ability to pass and conduct electricity and heat through them....
Can a wire produce electricity by itself?
You coil a wire and pass it through a magnetic field you will produce electricity.
What is the difference between conduct and insulate?
Insulation is keeping the heat inside, trapping it and not letting out. Conduction is letting a flow, such as electricity, pass through the material. for example, metal is a wonderful conductor of heat and electricity, but a bad insulator. However, wool is a good insulator and a bad conductor. :) hope that helps!
Do tungsten rings get hot from electricity?
Yes, pass electricity through one and it will generate heat. Pass enough and it could theoretically produce light. It's the same material (roughly) that inside of lightbulb filaments. It has a HIGH resistance which means, while being conductive, much of the electricity passing through it will be converted into heat energy.
What will not allow electricity to pass through it and keep something from losing heat?
No electricity
Which element can pass heat and electricity well?
magnesium
What allows electricity or heat to pass through it?
conductor
Do non metals pass heat and eletricity if yes then whih are those?
Carbon is a nonmetal that will pass heat and electricity.
What is the substance that allows heat and electiricety to pass throgh?
conductor of heat and electricity
