Which is a better conductor between alluvium and iron?
Iron is a better conductor of electricity compared to alluvium. This is because iron is a metal that contains free electrons, which can easily move and carry electrical charge. Alluvium, which is made up of a mixture of sediments like sand, silt, and clay, does not have the same abundance of free electrons as metals like iron.
Is dry soap a conductor of electricity?
This solution is not a good conductor.
Why is titanium a poor conductor of thermal heat and electricity?
Actually tungsten is a great conductor of heat and electricity. Tungsten is used a light bulb filaments. If Tungsten was a poor conductor of heat and electricity the bulb in the circuit would not glow because there wouldn't be electricity passing through the circuit. Tungsten is also used as an electrode in gas tungsten arc welding. Electricity passes through the tungsten (negative) and moves to the workpiece (positive) for most applications.
Do electrons flowing through a good conductor produce more heat than electrons flowing through a poor conductor?
No. The opposite. If by good and poor you are referring to a medium's ability to conduct electricity, then yes, a poor conductor (I suppose) would be a conductor with higher resistance than other conductors like it, although miniscule but a conductor with no resistance is a superconductor. Resistance causes the current flow (of electrons) to have to push through against the resistance which requires electrical energy (Why superconductors don't need voltage supplies). This electrical energy is then converted into heat. Now if you mean poor as in degraded then still no. Oxidation (Rust) is resistive so a worn conductor will generate more heat than a pristine one. The amount of heat generated by electrical resistance (in joules) is proportional the the square of the current.
Is pure iron conductor of electricity?
Pure iron is the best conductor of electricity in the current world. It transmits up to eight million electrons per minute through a gauge of 10mm. Pure iron can conduct electricity better than copper and can harvest electricity, although it would have to have added allotropes for that to happen.
What is the flow of electrons through a material called?

What are free electrons in a conductor?
They are electrons that are transferred through the conductor thanks to bonds of the atoms within the substance. An example of this kind of bond would be a metallic bond. They're what cause the conductivity
What would be explainable of a good conductor?
It allows the free flow of electrons.
When an electric current flows through a long conductor how does each free electron moves?
The individual electrons will move back and forth, as they do when there is no current. You would have to do very careful statistics to notice that there are slightly more electrons moving in one direction than in the other: the drift velocity (average velocity due to current) of the electrons is typically a fraction of a millimeter per second.
What is the term for a material through which electrons do not readily flow?
This would likely be an "insulator" as opposed to a conductor.
Does the electron oscillates in the conductor or the move from one site to another in the conductor?
When a potential difference exists between two points of a conductor, electrons slowly drift between those two points along that conductor. If there is no potential difference within the metal, then the electrons simply float randomly between atoms within the metal. Electrons would only oscillate in response to an external, oscillating voltage.
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.
What do you mean by resistivity?
Zero resistance would be a perfect conductor where the electrons move freely without any losses.
Would a copper wire act as the best insulator of electric current?
no it is good conductor because it has free electrons
How many electrons are passing through a section of a conductor per second if the current is two amperes?
In a conductor, the flow of current is due to the movement of electrons. One ampere (1 A) is equivalent to the passage of 6.242 x 10^18 electrons per second. Therefore, if the current is two amperes, the number of electrons passing through a section of the conductor per second would be 2 x 6.242 x 10^18 = 1.2484 x 10^19 electrons.
Is the picture tube a conductor or an insulator Explain your answer?
A picture tube is an insulator. The electrons would gather up and so, create an electric charge when the TV is on. If it was a conductor, the charge would not build up. Hope this helps :)
What element would be the best conductor in its pure liquid state?
Mercury is the best conductor in its pure liquid state, as it has high electrical conductivity due to its free-flowing electrons.
