What is a substance that allows heat or electricity to pass through?

A conductor is a substance that allows heat or electricity to pass through. A few examples of conductors are:WaterMetalAir (although not a good conductor is still a conductor)graphiteSalts and solutions of saltsPlasma (ionized gas)Vacuum that contains free electrons or ions


Can heat pass thourgh a conductor?

That is the definition of a conductor. Yes.Answer.Pure heat can pass through anything except a vacuum. Generally though, electrical conductors are better conductors of heat although not necessarily. Beryllium oxide ceramic is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity which is why it is often used for the manufacture of some electronic components like RF power transistors.


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.


How does a vacuum flask reduce heat transfer by conduction?

A vacuum flask reduces heat transfer by conduction by having an airless space between two layers of glass. Since air is a poor conductor of heat, this design minimizes heat transfer through conduction. Additionally, the reflective surface on the inner wall of the flask reduces heat transfer by radiation.


Is a pencil a good conductor of heat?

No, a pencil is not a good conductor of heat because it is made of graphite, which is a poor conductor of heat. Heat will not travel easily through a pencil, making it a good insulator rather than a conductor of heat.

Can a vacuum is conductor or non conductor?

A vacuum is a non conductor.


What are the conductors of electricity and heat?

1. The Conductor of ELECTRICITY is the ELECTRON. 2. The Conductor of HEAT in a Material is FRICTIONAL result of Molecules or Atoms. In a Vacuum it will be Infrared Energy WAVES.


How can vacuum be good conductor of heat?

There are three modes of conduction of heat :-1.conduction2. convection3. radiationheat flow through vacuum comes under heat flow through radiation. Im this case heat acts as an electromagnetic wave , as these waves can propagate through vacuum energy is transferred even though there is no contact between the source and the drain(sink/destination .... whatever).Note :- Actually we discussions pertaining to the matter weather vacuum is a good conductor or bad conductor are inappropriate as vacuum is not a material to discuss its properties, its just like asking give me a dozen of water(i am not intentionally sarcastic i just want to explain how weird it is to say that vacuum is a good conductor).


How does Heat transfer takes place in oven under vacuum?

Only by radiation, if not screened and by conduction, if mounted on a thermal conductor (heat sink)


Is outer space a conductor of heat?

Outer space is mostly a vacuum and does not conduct heat well because it lacks a medium for heat transfer to occur. In the absence of matter to carry thermal energy, heat transfer in space primarily occurs through radiation.
