Why is a computer heat sink made of copper?
Heat sink/s are made of copper and also aluminum because of its ability to quickly absorb and cool down heat. Copper is better then aluminum when it comes to heat transfer, however copper is heavier then aluminum as well as being more expensive.
Does dirt hold heat?
Yes, but not especially well.
Why does copper conduct heat so well?
because it the copper on the out side pulls in the heat and it lets it go slowly so it gets hot fast and stays hot for a long period of time.
What is the specific heat of copper at STP?
what is the specific heat for copper
Is copper a good conductor of heat and electricity?
yes copper is a good conductor of heat only becuase it comes in the conductor of heat
Why is copper better than rubber to hold electricity?
Copper is a better conductor of not only electricity, but also heat. This is because copper is a metal.
What is a metal that conducts heat well?
Copper, silver, gold, and aluminum are metals that conduct heat very well.
Is copper a best insulator?
No. Copper is a metal and will conduct both heat and electricity very well.
Why is the car engine radiator made from copper?
The radiator is made of copper because copper transfers heat very well.
Is copper convection conduction or radiation?
Copper is a metallic element, well-known for its conductivity of electricity -and heat.
Does a metal conduct heat readily?
Most of them do it quite well, copper very well
What properties do gold and copper have in common?
They conduct heat and electricity well.
Why is a computer heat sink made of copper?

Do plastic cups hold heat well?
no
How well does steele conduct heat?
Very well, but as far as metal I think copper is the best.
Can bronze conduct heat well?
Yes, bronze is a good conductor of heat due to its high copper content.
Does dirt hold heat?
