To make a poor conductor into a better conductor, you can increase its conductivity by adding impurities or doping materials, applying heat to increase kinetic energy of charge carriers, or reducing its length to decrease resistance. In general, manipulating factors that affect conductivity such as temperature, impurities, and length can improve a material's ability to conduct electricity.
What else can I help you with?
What is a better conductor a flagpole or a flag?
A flagpole is a better conductor of electricity than a flag since it is typically made of metal which is a good conductor, while a flag is usually made of cloth which is a poor conductor of electricity.
Is it poor conductor or a good conductor?
It is a poor 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 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.
Is duct tape a good conductor of heat?
Duct tape is not a good conductor of heat. Its composition and thickness make it a poor conductor, so it does not readily transfer heat.
What is a better conductor a flagpole or a flag?
A flagpole is a better conductor of electricity than a flag since it is typically made of metal which is a good conductor, while a flag is usually made of cloth which is a poor conductor of electricity.
Is eureka wire a better conductor than copper?
No, eureka is a very poor electrical conductor.
Is it poor conductor or a good conductor?
It is a poor conductor.
What you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor.
Is plain water a conductor or insulator?
Plain distilled (or double distilled) water with no impurities is a poor conductor of electricity. The more impurities it has the better conductor it becomes
Is helium a good conductor or poor conductor?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
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 hydrogen a good or poor conductor?
Hydrogen is a poor conductor of electricity in its pure form. It is the most abundant element in the universe but it rarely exists on its own. It conducts electricity better when it is ionized or combined with other elements.
What are some of the different types of insulation?
An insulator is a poor conductor of energy. For example; Rubber is a poor conductor of electricity Rock is a poor conductor of heat A sponge is a poor conductor of sound.
Why is mercury a heat conductor?
Mercury is a (relatively) poor conductor of heat because unlike other metals (which are better heat conductors) mercury is a liquid and lacks the rigid crystal structure and electron configuration of solids that make them (sometimes) better thermal conductors.
What would you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor.
Can you make a lampshade using copper wire to hold the bulb Or will it get too hot?
It should be ok but steel wire is better because it is a poor conductor of heat.
