Best Answer

It is an electrical conductor, because it is made of iron.

Iron, like all metals, contains "free" or "conduction" electrons which can move through the metal and carry charge.

Iron is also a thermal conductor, for the same reason.

Is iron rod a conductor of heat and electricity?

Iron conducts both heat and electricity very well.


Wrap a thin paper strip tightly around an iron rod . try to burn the paper with candle while rotating the iron rod continuously . does it burn .explain your observation?

If you introduce the rod with the round strips into the flame of a candle, the paper will not catch fire. The fire will lick the paper but not burn down until the iron rod becomes hot. This is because iron rod just like any other metal is a good conductor of heat, it leads away the heat obtained by paper from the candle flames. Replace the iron rod by a wooden stick and paper will burn because wood is a poor conductor of heat. With copper rod the experiment is more successful.
