The outermost shell of electrons in a copper atom is not bound to the individual atom (nucleus), but can move freely within the copper. So when attracted by a positive voltage, electrons can move toward it.

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
What else apart from electricity is copper a conductor of?
Copper is a very good conductor of heat.
Would a copper pipe work better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor, that's why it is used to make electrical wire.
Which substance meets the requirements cubic solid poor electrical conductor in the solid state good conductor when fused a sodium chloride b diamond c sulfur d chromium?
A, sodium chloride, because it is a crystalline solid. It has an ionic bond when in it's solid form and is a poor conductor. It is a good conductor of electricity in an aqueous state or when fused.
Is a copper penny a good conductor?
Yes, it's copper bozo
Why is copper a really good conductor of heat?
Yes because copper is a metal.
Why is copper in cars?
Copper is used in the alternator and wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity. Copper is used in the radiator because it is a good conductor of heat. Copper alloys are used in some bearings because of the wear characteristics (not too hard, not too soft).
Is copper an insulator or a conductor?
It is a very good conductor. It is used in wiring to deliver electricity.
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
Is copper a bad heat conductor?
No. Copper is a good conductor of heat.
Is a copper nail a conductor insulator?
Copper is a good electrical and thermal conductor.
Would a copper pipe be better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor.
Why is the pipe carrying the hot gases made of copper coil?
Because copper is a good conductor of heat
What metal is usually used for wires in electric circuit?
Copper. Because 1, it is A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY, AND 2, IT IS A MALLEABLE (BENDS EASILY) METAL.
Is ice a better conductor than copper?
No, Ice is a good insulator and copper is a very good conductor
Why are copper wires good?
Copper is good for use for electrical wiring because it has very low resistivity and is therefore an excellent conductor of electricity. It is not nearly as good a conductor as silver, but it is a lot less expensive.
Why is steel not used for electric wires?
Because steel is not a good conductor of electricity. Copper is the best conductor for electricity.
