Is gold cunductor of heat or electricity?
Gold is a good thermal conductor (looks like only copper and silver are better - see engineeringtoolbox dot com) Gold is also a good electrical conductor. Copper and silver are a little better, though.
Is gold a thermal conductor?
Yes, it is. It is better than aluminum, but not as good as copper. Aluminum is often used in heat sinks, though, because it is cheaper than gold or copper.
What is the bare copper conductor found in non metallic - sheathed cable?
The bare copper conductor found in non metallic sheathed cable is the ground wire. On a wire count in a cable set the ground wire is never counted even though it is always there.
Is gold a good thermal conductor?
Yes, it is. It is better than aluminum, but not as good as copper. Aluminum is often used in heat sinks, though, because it is cheaper than gold or copper.
What are differences between copper conductor and aluminium conductor?
Aluminum is worse conductor than copper by volume, though it's considerably lighter. It was used years ago for wiring houses, mostly because it was much cheaper by then. It physical properities however(thermal expansion, galvanic corrosion), make it a poor choice for household wiring.
what is conductor?
A conductor is a material which contains movable electric charges. In metallic conductors, such as copper or aluminum, the movable charged particles are electrons, though in other cases they can be ions or other positively charged species.
Does copper conduct electricity better than gold?
Yes, it does! Pure copper is a much better electrical conductor at normal operating conditions. Gold plating is used in electronics and cables because of it's corrosion resistance. I'm not really sure why though. Silver is cheaper than gold, and oxides to silver oxide, which is still a better conductor than gold. pure silver is the best naturally occurring conductor, followed by copper followed (not very closely) by gold.
Why silver is not used for making electrical wires?
Even though silver is the best conductor of electricity, it is extremely expensive. Thus silver is not used to make electical wires. Silver is also very soft to be used as electric wires.
What type of material allows a charge to move freely through it?
A material through which an electric current flows easily is called an electrical conductor. Many metals, especially silver and copper, are excellent electrical conductors.
Is rhodium a good conductor of electricity?
I would expect it to be, since it is a metal.
Is gold a good conductor of electricity?
Yes, though it's not as good as copper or silver. It's often used as a plating for connectors, since unlike copper and silver gold does not tarnish or corrode readily.
Electrical current will pass easily through?
Copper, metal, aluminum.AnswerI think the answer you are probably looking for is a conductor. Practical conductors are usually metal, although non-metals, such as carbon, are also commonly used. Liquid conductors are called 'electrolytes'. The best metallic conductor is silver, followed very closely by copper. In practise, copper is likely the most common metal conductor but, as copper is relatively expensive, aluminium is widely used for transmission and distribution lines.
