What are some good conductors for a closed circuit?
silver, copper are generally used in electric circuits
Which of the following is a property of nonmetals poor conductors of electric current very reactive with water malleable shiny?
Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.
Vertical column in the periodic table?
good Conductors of heat and electric current
Which will conduct electric current aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide dissolved in water?
Aluminium foil and potassium hydroxide in water solution are conductors.
2 examples of conductors?
Conductors facilitate the transfer of something. Electric conductors allow electricity to pass, Light conductors let light pass, heat conductors let heat pass. Train conductors let paying passengers pass.Copper and Aluminum are electric and heat conductors.Diamond is a light and heat conductor.Glass is a light conductor.
What are good conductors for a closed circuit?

Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.

Are copper wires and not steel wires used in electric circuits although both copper and steel are electrical conductors?
Steel is not used as an electrical conductor because, although it is a conductor, it's not a very good conductor -as is copper and aluminium, for example. A steel-wire core is used, however, to reinforce aluminium conductors on transmission tower lines
What is the meaning ofjunction box?
A box through which the main conductors of a system of electric distribution pass, and where connection is made with branch circuits.
What is the meaning of junction box?
A box through which the main conductors of a system of electric distribution pass, and where connection is made with branch circuits.
What are feeders in power system?
"Feeders" are conductors which carry electric power from the service equipment (or generator switchboard) to the overcurrent devices for groups of branch circuits or load centers supplying various loads.
What group of metals are the best conductors of heat and electric current?
all metals are good conductors of heat and electric currents
Which would be an electric conductor?
Metals are good electric conductors.
Are high density materials good electric conductors?
They are good electrical conductors.
Why does insulators and conductors matter?
In electricity, Insulators help insulate electric charges. Conductors conduct the electric charges and make them into electricity.
What does the electric current have?
In metal conductors, electric current is the flow of electrons.
