Examples of insulators and conductors?
Insulators: wood, plastic Conductors: Copper, Gold
Is nonmetals a semiconductors?
Graphite is a non metal conductor.
Which is an example of a conductor?
Pretty much any metal will conduct electricity. Some common examples are copper, gold, iron, silver, aluminum, lead, etc.This also includes humans.See the Related Questions for the best ones.
Screwdriver handle conductor or insulator?
The metal part itself would be a conductor in theory but the handle would be an insulator as it is usually rubber or plastic.
What is a good electrical conductor when melted and is a good insulator in its solid state?
Glass is a good conductor when melted. Most precision glass melters use gas burners to get the glass to a molten state, then they use electrodes immersed in the glass to electrically heat it to the required temperature.
Is a glass slide a conductor or a insulator?
It is a insulator because glass is not a metal so it is NOT A CONDUCTOR.
Is a glass microscope a conductor or insulator?
It is a insulator because glass is not a metal so it is NOT A CONDUCTOR.
Is a glass slide a conductor or insulator?
It is a insulator because glass is not a metal so it is NOT A CONDUCTOR.
Is a glass microscope slide is a conductor?
It is a insulator because glass is not a metal so it is NOT A CONDUCTOR.
What cools faster glass bottle or can?
Considering cans are metal and metal is a better heat conductor than glass (any cook will confirm that from years of burnt fingers) then I'd say GLASS would be able to cool quicker. It's easier for glass to loose thermodynamic energy than metal.
Which of the following would have the best thermal conductor properties a thick mug or a cup made of metal?
A cup made of metal would have better thermal conductor properties than a thick mug. Metal is a better conductor of heat than ceramic or glass, allowing the metal cup to heat up or cool down faster when in contact with hot or cold liquids.
Is mercury a better conductor of heat than glass?
No, it is not. The best thermal conductor among the metals is silver, and it is the best electrical conductor as well. There is a general "rule" in the natural world that thermal and electrical conductivity are proportionate among metals; they "track" together. If a metal is a better thermal conductor than another metal, it will be a better electrical conductor as well. It should be noted that the best thermal conductor of all known materials is the allotrope of carbon we call diamond. Interestingly, diamond is an electrical insulator.
Is glass a better conductor of heat than water?
No, water is a better conductor of heat than glass. Water has a higher thermal conductivity, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently than glass. Glass is a relatively poor conductor of heat compared to water.
What conducts most heat plastic or metal?
Metal is a better conductor
Is glass or air a better conductor?
Glass is a better conductor of heat compared to air because it has a higher thermal conductivity. Air is a poor conductor of heat due to its low density and lower thermal conductivity.
Is glass anon metal?
No, glass is not a metal. Glass is primarily composed of silica (silicon dioxide) and does not have the metallic properties that define metals, such as being a good conductor of electricity and malleable.
Is water a better conductor than metal?
No, water is not a better conductor than metal. Metal is a much better conductor of electricity than water because of its free-flowing electrons that allow for easier passage of electric current. Water, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of electricity due to its lack of free electrons.
