What has the least amount of resistance a semi conductor insulator resistor or a conductor?
Traditionally, a conductor has the least resistance of the three, followed by the semiconductor and finally the resistor.
Would a copper pipe be better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor.
What would be an example of a good thermal conductor?
Graphene is the best thermal conductor. Any metal or metallic objects such as a frying pan would be a good thermal conductor, including diamond.
Would a gold ring be a good conductor of electricity?
Yes - one of the best. Gold is an extremely good conductor of electricity.
What causes a resistor to heat up?
The current through a resistor or for that matter any conducting medium is caused by flow of electrons. These electrons do not flow like a stream through the resistor or conductor but undergo repeated collisions with the vibrating atoms of the resistor, transferring their kinetic energy to them. This in turn increases the vibrational energy of the atoms and manifest itself as heat in the resistor/ conductor. In turn this results in reduced drift velocity of the electrons resulting in reducing the current , thus acting as a Resistor.
What are the basics of how flashlights work?
You need a conductor, power source and a resistor. You need a conductor, power source and a resistor. You need a conductor, power source and a resistor.
Can a pencil sharpened at both ends be used as a conductor?
Yes, but it will have high resistance so it would be better called a resistor than a conductor.
Is cheese a conductor?
No. Cheese would not be a good conductor.
What has the least amount of resistance a semi conductor insulator resistor or a conductor?
Traditionally, a conductor has the least resistance of the three, followed by the semiconductor and finally the resistor.
What is a light dependent resister?
As light falls on the conductor then emission of electrons would increase the conductivity and so its resistivity decreases. Such a conductor is known as light dependent resistor.
Would a good conductor create more resistance or a good insulator?
Good conductor = low resistance.
Is tinfoil a good conductor?
Yes, because it is after all metal, and no, because it is so thin; it makes a better resistor or type of fuse, actually.
Why diamond is a poor conductor of heat?
It's pure carbon. If molded glass or ceramic is a resistor , then diamond must be even more so, as it can withstand more heat and pressure than either one of those materials.
How would you classify lemon juice or vinegar as a good conductor or poor conductor?
lemon juice with salt will act as a very good conductor also vinegar is a conductor but not a very good one
Is pencil lead a resistor?
It is not a resistor, but not to say it's a good conductor. Although it lacks the metallic bonding that makes Cu such a good conductor, the sheets of graphite have hybridized sp2 orbitals, meaning there are long rows of p orbitals that can share electrons across the sheet, meaning it can conduct electricity. It has a resistivity of ~20uOhm meters, whereas as Cu has a resistivity of ~17nOhm meters.
Would a copper pipe be better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor.
Which resistor is the beat conductor 150 or 600?
We're guessing that you meant to type "best", that you typed "beat" instead, and that you then didn't take the trouble to proofread your own typing. A resistor with a lower resistance is the better conductor. The resistance of a perfect conductor is zero ohms.
