A good conductor will conduct more heat, or more electricity, depending on the context, than a bad conductor. That is, it will transfer more of either in any given time period.

Is copper a bad heat conductor?

No, copper is actually a very good heat conductor. It is commonly used in applications where efficient heat transfer is required, such as in electrical wiring and heat exchangers.


Is a plastic bag a good conductor?

No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.


Is cermaic a good conductor?

Ceramic is not a good conductor of electricity. It is considered an insulator, meaning it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. However, some ceramics, like piezoelectric materials, can conduct electricity under certain conditions.


Why carbon is a bad conductor of electricity?

Carbon is a bad conductor of electricity because it has a full valence shell and does not contain any free electrons to carry an electric current. In diamond, each carbon atom is covalently bonded in a rigid lattice structure, which does not allow for the easy movement of electrons. In graphite, although there are delocalized electrons between layers, the overall structure still hinders the flow of electricity.


The copper is an insulator?

yes copper is actually a very good insulator to both heat and electric conducting A2: NO. Copper is about the second-best electrical conductor, next to silver. It is also a very Good heat conductor. Try heating an iron poker in a fire. The heat travels slowly to the opposite end. A copper wire, however, if stuck in the fire, will transfer heat Very quickly--you won't be able to hold the other end of it! wikipedia.org/copper

The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?

A good conductor allows for the easy flow of electricity due to its high conductivity, while a good insulator restricts the flow of electricity due to its high resistance. Conductors have loosely bound electrons that can move easily, while insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily.

What is the difference between insulator and bad conductor and semi conductor?

an insulator doesn't allows electricity pass from it, a bad conductor allows electricity to pass from it but not fully or completely and a semi conductor pass electricity in little form which used to operate electronics

Electron move without potentiel difference in a conductor?

No. In a good conductor you simply need less potential difference than in a bad conductor, to get the same current. But if you have zero voltage, you will also have zero current. Unless you have a superconductor (zero resistance), and the current is already flowing.
