Does an iron nail conduct electricity?
Yes they do, they have approximately .3 volts of conductivity.
Is rust a conductor of heat?
Rust, like all substances, is a conductor of heat, however some substances are better at conducting heat than others. Iron is a good conductor of heat because of its metallic structure, but rust is not so good as it is a simple covalent molecule.In a nutshellNo, rust is not a good conductor of heat.
Shinny good conductors malleable?
Metal elements such as iron, aluminium and silver.
What is the difference between a conductor and a insulater?
a conductor attracts and an insulator keeps it all together
Is iron a conductor of electricity or heat?
Both
Does iron conduct static electricity?
no <<>> Any metallic material will conduct static electricity.
How do potaoes conduct electricity?
potatoes conduct electricity by the iron copper and liquids inside of them!!
Will iron conduct electricity?
yes
Does iron conduct electricity well?
yes
Does an iron nail conduct electricity?
Yes they do, they have approximately .3 volts of conductivity.
How well does iron conduct electricity?
Yes. Iron can conduct electricity. It is not as good a conductor of electricity as copper but it can conduct electricity. If you see a train or high speed rail with two wires hanging over the track, the top wire is a copper wire and the bottom wire is an iron wire. The copper wire conducts the electricity with very little loss of electricity. The iron wire is able to pass the electricity on to the train while withstanding a lot of wear and tear.
Is rust a conductor of electricity?
Iron oxide does not conduct.
Is iron conductive elements?
Yes- iron is a metal, and all metals conduct electricity.
What metals are both magnetic and conduct electricity?
IRON and COBALT
Can iron conduct electricity as a liquid?
Iron melts and becomes liquid at an 2800 degrees Fahrenheit. It can still conduct electricity, but, like all conductors, it conducts better at lower temperatures.
Can iron ore conduct electricity?
No, but some types of iron-ore have a permanent magnetic field.
Explain why do copper and iron conduct electricity?
Well metal elements are usually the best conductors of electricity
