That depends on the what substance the wire is made from. Wires made from metals, such as iron, copper, gold, are good conductors. Wires made from aluminum would not be as good of a conductor.

What are good conductors that you might find at a typical barbecue?
any metal at a bbq is a conducter along with water
Is vacuum tube ohmic or non-ohmic and why?
Vacuum tubes are non-ohmic devices
What is a conducter made of?
a conducter is made of metal
How is the movement of electricity through air different from its movement through copper wire?
The Air is many molecules scattered all around and copper wire is molecules in a line and very condensed where air is not. Therefore copper wire is a better conducter
Is a metal a conductor or an insulator?
Conducter because it has free electrons in its outermost shell which can be transferred from one atom to another.
Which metal is the best conducter of metal?
Silver.
When the voltage across the ends of a piece of wire is doubled what effect does this have on the current in the wire?
current doublesAnswerIt depends on whether the wire is ohmic or non-ohmic. If it is ohmic, then the current will also double. If, like tungsten, it is non-ohmic, then it depends.... because doubling the voltage will cause its resistance to increase.Ohmic materials obey Ohm's Law, whereas non-ohmic materials do not.
Is a wire a conductor or a insulator?
it is a conducter
What is the metal used in most electricity insulators?
metal is a conducter you dumbo
Witct is a better conducter a plastic spoon or a metal spoon?
A metal spoon - plastic does not conduct electricity
Why is metal a heat conducter?
because it's a good heat conducter Electric conductors tend to be good heat conductors, but the above seems reasonable.
Is gold a conducter an insulater of heat?
Metals are conductors of heat. Gold is a metal.
Is a paperclip a good conducter?
YES! anything that's metal is a good conductor
Suppose that a current-carrying ohmic metal wire has a cross-sectional area that gradually becomes smaller from one end of the wire to the other. The current must have the same value in each section o?
The current will remain the same throughout, but the voltage gradient will vary.
How do you make to make the perfect curcuit?
The things you need for your curcuit are: A light bulb, Bell wire, A Battery and a conducter ex. pin, paper clip Attach the bulb together with the battery using the bell wire. With the two ends of the wire connect to the conducter and see if light bulb comes on.
Is Thermistor ohmic or non-ohmic?
no.....thermistors are not ohmic.
Is iron conductors or insulators?
Iron is a very good type of metal and its also a good conducter
