COPPER IS NOT THE FASTEST CONDUCTOR OF HEAT. IT IS SILVER.

But Copper is widely used because it is cheaper and more readily available than Silver.

Copper is a fast conductor of heat because of the arrangements of this atoms and molecules as heat is caused due to vibration of molecules and eventual collisions.

Which metal conducts heat the fastest brass stainless steal aluminium iron or copper and why?

Copper conducts heat the fastest among the metals listed. This is because copper has high thermal conductivity due to its atomic structure, which allows heat to be transferred quickly through the material. Aluminum is also a good conductor of heat, but copper is typically superior in conducting heat.

Is a copper pipe insulator or conductor?

Copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Copper pipes are often used for plumbing because of their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Insulation is usually added to copper pipes to prevent heat loss or gain, but the copper itself is a conductor.

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
