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.
What matrial is a good electrical conductor?
Silver is the best electrical conductor. Copper is second. Gold is third. Aluminum is a good conductor but not for house wiring. It is used for high tension wires.
Is rubber or glass a conductor?
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
Is sliver a conductor or insulator?
Silver is a very good conductor of electricity due to its high electrical conductivity. It is commonly used in electrical wires and circuits for this reason.
Why is magnesium oxide a good conductor?
Magnesium oxide is an electrical insulator.
Why is glass a good conductor?
Glass is not a good conductor of electricity. It is actually an insulator, meaning it does not allow electric current to flow through it easily. Glass is a good insulator due to its high resistance to electrical current.
Is glass bangle a good conductor of electricity?
No, glass is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. A glass bangle would not be a good conductor of electricity as it lacks the free-moving electrons necessary for conducting electrical current.
What is the poorest electrical conductor is it pencil lead glass steel or aluminum?
Pencil lead is the poorest electrical conductor among the materials listed. While steel and glass are poor conductors, aluminum is a relatively good conductor of electricity.
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 microscope slide an electrical insulator or a conductor?
Yes, a glass microscope slide is an electrical insulator. Glass is generally considered an electrical insulator.
Is glass a poor conductor?
It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor
Why is glass a good insulater?
glass is a non conductor
Is a glass microscope slide a conductor or insulator why?
A glass microscope slide is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity. Glass is a good insulator of electricity due to its high resistance to electrical current flow.
Is nitrogen a conductor of electricity?
Nitrogen is not a good electrical conductor.
Is a glass jar an insulator or conductor?
Since glass isn't a conductor, a glass jar is an insulator.
Is glass a good conductor for electricity?
No.
Is glass lens an insulator or conductor?
Glass is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity because it has high electrical resistance.
