An object which is a conductor can conduct (or transfer) heat or electricity. Every single metal is a conductor (that is why Mercury is considered a metal, because it conducts). A saucepan is made of metal because it can transfer the heat well. Other than a "super-conductor" which can only be made in laboratories, Gold is the best conductor, followed by silver then copper. We use copper for electrical wires because gold and silver are too expensive.
What else can I help you with?
When a charged object touches a conductor what happens?
When a charged object touches a conductor, the charge on the object will distribute itself across the surface of the conductor due to the repulsion or attraction of like and unlike charges. This process helps to neutralize the charge on the object, resulting in an overall even distribution of charge on the conductor.
How can you use a circuit to decide whether an object is a conductor or an insulator?
Well, if you have a functioning (=closed) circuit, and introduce an unknown object, then if the circuit is still functioning (=closed) then the object is a conductor. If it stops working, then it's either an insulator or an very poor conductor.
When an object shares its excess charge with a much larger conductor it is called?
When an object shares its excess charge with a much larger conductor, it is called "charging by induction." This process involves bringing the charged object near the conductor, causing the charges in the conductor to redistribute without direct contact. This results in the neutralization of the excess charge on the object due to the attraction and repulsion of charges in the conductor.
What is the name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?
A conductor is a substance that conducts heat or electricity.
Object that is not a good conductor?
Plastic is a poor conductor of electricity due to its insulating properties.

What object is a good conductor of heat?
metal
Is gold a conductor?
Yes gold is. It is because it is a metal object. Silver is the best conductor while a lot of gold can conductor awesomely.
What is the name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?
A conductor is a substance that conducts heat or electricity.
Object that is not a good conductor?
Plastic is a poor conductor of electricity due to its insulating properties.
What is the process of charging a conductor by bringing it near another charged object and then grounding the conductor called?
Induction
Does a conductor have anything to do with pH?
No, a conductor has nothing to do with pH. A conductor is an object or material that conducts heat, light, or sound. pH has to to with a solution's acidity or alkalinity.
What is conducation?
a conductor is an object that lets energy go through
What will happen if a light neutral conductor is brought near a negatively charged object?
The negatively charged object will attract electrons in the neutral conductor towards it, causing the electrons to redistribute within the conductor. This redistribution will result in the end of the conductor closest to the negatively charged object becoming slightly negatively charged, while the end farthest from it becomes slightly positively charged. This induces a temporary dipole moment in the neutral conductor.
