Most familiar conductors are metallic. Copper is the most common material used for electrical wiring. Silver is the best conductor, but is expensive. Gold is used for high-quality surface-to-surface contacts. Aluminium too is a good conductor.

What are three materials that are good conductors of heat?

Copper, aluminum, and silver are three materials that are good conductors of heat due to their high thermal conductivity properties.


How are thermal conductors and electrical conductors related?

Thermal conductors and electrical conductors both involve the flow of energy, but they are not necessarily the same materials. Some materials, like metals, are both good thermal and electrical conductors due to their free electrons that allow them to transfer energy efficiently. However, there are also materials that are good thermal conductors but poor electrical conductors, such as ceramics.

Are high density materials good electric conductors?

No, high density materials are not necessarily good electric conductors. Electrical conductivity is determined by the availability of free electrons in a material, not its density. Typically, metals with high electron mobility, such as copper and aluminum, are good conductors of electricity.

What material make good conductors?

Good conductors of electricity are materials that allow electric current to flow easily through them. Metals such as copper, silver, and gold are excellent conductors due to their high electron mobility and low electrical resistance. Other materials like aluminum and iron are also decent conductors but not as efficient as pure metals.
