  • Metals are the most obvious example. Electrical conductivity in a copper wire is the result of electrons flowing along an electrical conductor as is the case with DC, with AC the electrons oscillate back and forth and hence have a period that can be modelled using trigonometry.
  • Ionic solutions can conduct electricity. This involves solutions of ions that can carry a current between two potentials by virtue of being charged. This is how sodium chloride dissolved in water will increase its conductivity.
  • Ionic liquids can conduct electricity, much in the same way as ionic solutions. The difference lies in the fact that these ions are not dissolved in a solvent but exist as chsrged ions in the liquid state.
  • Solid state ionic conductorst can conduct by mechanisms that involve ions passing through channels in the solids crystal lattice.
  • A Plasma Gas can conduct electricity as their electrons are delocalised from their atomic orbitals and consequently can move independently of the nucleus.
  • Some minerals such as the Perovskite class can conduct electricity, most famously the cuperate high temperature super conductors are perovskite minerals.
  • Semimetals such as graphite will conduct, electrons delocalised into the unhybridized P orbitals are responsible.
  • Semiconductors and compound semiconductors can conduct electricity. An example would be Gallium Arsenide
  • Certain nanomaterials conduct electricity such as certain types of carbon nanotubes.

add. But conductivity can also refer to sound and vibration waves, and to thermal energy.

3 examples of heat moving by conduction in your home?

When you touch a metal spoon that has been placed in a hot pot of soup, heat is transferred from the pot to the spoon through conduction. When you turn on a burner on your stovetop and the heat is transferred from the burner to the bottom of a pot through conduction. When you lean against a warm radiator in your home and the heat is transferred from the radiator to your body through conduction.

What are examples of electrical conduction?

Examples of electrical conduction include the flow of electricity through a conducting material like copper wire, the movement of ions in an electrolyte solution, and the transmission of nerve impulses in biological systems.


What are non-examples of conduction?

Non-examples of conduction include radiation and convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight warming the Earth. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, such as boiling water transferring heat through the rising bubbles. Conduction specifically refers to the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects or substances.

How is heat transferred by conduction and what are some examples of this process in everyday life?

Heat is transferred by conduction through direct contact between objects. This occurs when heat energy moves from a warmer object to a cooler one. Examples of conduction in everyday life include cooking on a stove, holding a hot cup of coffee, and feeling the warmth of a heated seat in a car.
