What else can I help you with?
Why are metals use to make wires for carrying electricity?
because metals have de-stabilized electrons.Thus can conduct electricity.
Why shouldn't you use metals to conduct static electricity?
Metals are perfectly fine if all you want is to discharge the static electricity, but they conduct so well that the discharge often results in a very high current spark.To reduce the possibility of such sparks (which can trigger explosions, damage electronics, etc.) it is better to use high resistance dissipative materials (e.g. treated plastics, humidifiers, air ionizers, in-line megohm resistors on wriststraps, etc.) to slowly discharge the static electricity.
What elements would be expected to best conduct heat and electricity?
Metals conduct heat and electricity best. Among metals the softer (less dense) metals such as aluminum, copper, silver, etc. We use copper wire to deliver electricity to an incandescent light but tungsten for the filament. Other things affect the heating effect, but the resistance of the tungsten.
Elements that conduct electricity and heat?
Metals are typically good conductors. Most common in use today is copper. However gold is also a good conductor.
Are vegetables good conductors of electricity?
It depends what you mean by "good" they are not necessarily "good" conductors of electricity but yes they will conduct electricity. Most things conduct electricity at some level, they may have high resistance but they will still conduct electricity.
What is bronze use of?
it is used to conduct electricity
What will allow electricity to flow through it?
Materials that can conduct electricity, such as metals like copper and aluminum, have free-moving electrons that allow electricity to flow through them. These materials have low resistance to the flow of electric current, making them suitable for use in electrical circuits.
Does an insulator conduct electricity?
We use the term insulator, specifically electrical insulator, to refer to an object or material that does not conduct electricity to any significant degree.The term insulator, with no other explanation, is assumed to refer to electrical insulators. There are of course other materials which are used as insulation for heat. They provide thermal insulation and may or may not conduct electricity.
Can californium conduct electricity?
Yes, californium is a heavy radioactive metal that can conduct electricity, like most other metals. However, its practical use in conducting electricity is limited due to its high cost, rarity, and radioactive nature.
Silver and gold are transition metals that conduct electricity even better than copperWhy do you use copper to make electric cables instead of either of these metals?
Gold does not conduct electricity better then copper. Companies will place ends of connectors just so they can raise the price of the cable. Money, my friend. In fact there are some audio conectors which use gold to improve the sound quality, but they are much more expensive than the standard ones.
Why are metals use for power cables?
Because metals are in general good conductors of electricity.
Is pewter conduct electricity or heat?
it conducts electricity because it is a metal but i am not sure about heat
