Are you pulling my leg? Copper is a good conductor of electricity. Tungsten is a terrible conductor of electricity. It is used in light bulbs because it gets so hot it glows. I dont think you want it in your walls.

What is the shine of tungsten?

Tungsten shines for the same reason that any other metal shines; the metallic bond creates an electron cloud which readily reflects light.


Why is titanium hard?

The question starts off under the assumption that Titanium is hard which is incorrect. Titanium is not very hard as far as metals are concerned, it has about the same hardness as Stainless Steel. Titanium is not regarded for its hardness but rather its light weight, tensile strength, and non corrosive properties. I believe you may have Titanium confused with Tungsten Carbide which is an extremely hard and heavy metal. Tungsten is generally considered scratch proof; additionally the only naturally occurring element that is harder then Tungsten is Diamond.


Is your percent yield within reason of what you would expect Please explain your answer.?

Yes, the percent yield is within reason if it falls within the typical range for the reaction being conducted. A percent yield close to 100 indicates efficient reaction conditions and good experimental technique, while a lower percent yield may suggest issues such as incomplete reactions or side reactions.

What does time makes more converts than reason?

This quote is simply saying that you can reason with someone on the pros of a belief and not get good results if he or she has nothing to compare it to. People change as time goes on. The person experience what life has to offer rather it is good or bad. He or she is more likely to agree with the belief. They can draw on their experiences to decide the truth of a belief. Some people go through changes day by day. For others, it takes a little more time than usual.

Why is tungsten better than carbon for filiments?

The reason why Tungsten is better than Carbon for filaments is because, Tungsten has a higher melting point. The melting point of Tungsten is 3695 degrees, as where Carbon has a melting point of only 3550 degrees. answered by Brittany :) grade 8 student


The metal with the highest melting point for this reason it is often used as the filament in light bulbs?

tungsten

What is reason that make ternary computer system stop?

Transistors lend themselves to on/off circuits. The ternary system is easier on paper, in that the math is simpler, but building the circuits is a different matter.


What property does tungsten have that make it suitable for making filament?

Tungsten has a high melting point of 3422°C, which allows it to withstand the high temperatures produced when an electric current passes through the filament, without melting. This property helps the filament to emit light efficiently and have a longer lifespan.


What+is+the+difference+between+titanium+and+tungsten+tings%3F++I+currently+have+a+titanium+ring+that+I+like+a+lot%2C+it+is+lightweight+and+durable.++Are+tungsten+rings+nicer%3F?

Titanium as you know is a very lightweight metal, but also a metal that is highly prone to scratching. Tungsten (metal my wedding band is made of) is a substantially heavier metal that is almost impossible to cut once hardened, and will not scratch. Tungsten is in my opinion the best type of ring to go with, especially if you work with your hands. The only downfall to tungsten is that if you were to be in an accident or for some reason your finger swelled, it is almost impossible to cut off. However if it is your wedding band and you believe that marriage should be til death like I do then there should be no reason that the ring need to come off anyway. Hope this helps.

Why active differentiator circuits are not used in analog computer to solve differential equations?

The op amp differentiator is generally not used in any analog computer application. The basic reason for this is that high-frequency noise signals will not be suppressed by this circuit; rather they will be amplified far beyond the amplification of the desired signal.


Voltmeter in series circuits?

The only reason anyone will put a voltmeter in series is to measure current flow as a function of voltage drop.

What should be removed before working on laptop circuits?

One reason that the manufacturers have factory warrenty is to have some say in how well and reliable the laptop is when it leaves the factory. If you work ion the laptop circuits you risk wreaking the laptop not just wreaking any warrenty. Qualified, trained, experienced people should work on laptop circuits.
