Which nonmetal is a conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
Is copper an electrical conductor?
Yes, Because they have a large number of free electrons. Having lots of free electrons makes it easier to nudge the electrons around, thus creating electric current. The best conductors are silver, copper, gold and aluminum respectively. Cost, weight and ease of handling dictate using copper or aluminum as conductors in most industries. Also it is used in piping as it is unreactive with water.
What substances would be good electrical conductor?
Examples: silver, gold, copper, aluminium.
What are the characteristics of copper?
copper is a very shiny metal, with an orange-gold colour. It is a really good conductor of electricity, second only to silver. it doesn't corrode easily and is ralatively cheap since its very abundant. its very malleable and ductile.
Electrical conductivity when dissolved in water?
The electrical conductivity of different materials is affected differently when dissolved in water. For example, anhydrous Sodium Chloride changes from a non-conductor to a one when dissolved.
What is the worst conductor of electricity among all metals?
tin, copper, rubber, air, water
Is pure water an electrical conductor?
At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.
Can water be an electrical conductor using direct current?
Water can conduct current, but not as efficiently as a copper wire. There are some applications where a small current is used to sense the level of water through a conductor in an insulated container.
7 Give examples of a conductor and an insulator?
If we speak in terms of electrical conductivity, some good insulators are ceramics, plastics, rubber and glass. Conductors are, on the other hand, metals in general: copper, silver, gold, but there are some good conductors that are not metals, like graphite and some salt solutions.
Which nonmetal is a conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
Exapmle of things with lots of copper?
water pipes, wires- copper is the 2nd best electrical conductor after silver which is not used because its too expensive, liquid copper-wood preservative, copper sulfate and other copper compunds have anti-bacterial properties.
Is water a good electrical conductor?
Yes.
Is copper an electrical conductor?
Yes, Because they have a large number of free electrons. Having lots of free electrons makes it easier to nudge the electrons around, thus creating electric current. The best conductors are silver, copper, gold and aluminum respectively. Cost, weight and ease of handling dictate using copper or aluminum as conductors in most industries. Also it is used in piping as it is unreactive with water.
Why is copper a better thermal conductor than water?
because copper isnt wet
How would you classify water as an electrical conductor?
Pure water is a insulator, however if there are ions in the water it becomes an excellent conductor.
Is a non metallic conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
Is water a best conductor of heat?
Not exactly. That is why it warms up with heat. A good conductor of heat like copper or iron is best conductor in comparision to water.
