∙ 10y ago-- If you force the same currentthrough a good conductor and a poor conductor,
the poor conductor will dissipate more heat.
-- Of course, in order to force the same current through both of them, you'll
have to apply more voltage across the poor conductor.
-- Therefore, the product of the (supply voltage) and (current) will be greater
for the poor conductor.
-- The product of (voltage) x (current) happens to be power . . .
-- Meaning that you'll have to supply more power to the poor conductor.
-- Voila! The extra power you supply is exactly the greater heat dissipation.
Once again, you didn't get something for nothing.

Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
All metals are good conductors of heat.
Metals are both good heat conductors and also good electrical conductors because of the looseness of outer electrons in metal atoms. A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of conduction, convection, and radiation.
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water

Good heat conductors are drinking glass.

Metals are generally good conductors of electricity and heat. They react with acids to produce salts. They are malleable and ductile.
They aren't necessarily good conductors of both (like diamond, which is a good conductor of heat, but not electricity) Graphite is one that is both, but most of them are metals.
because it's a good heat conducter Electric conductors tend to be good heat conductors, but the above seems reasonable.
