What else can I help you with?
Is a resistor considered a conductor?
No, a resistor is not considered a conductor. Resistors are components that impede the flow of electric current, while conductors allow electric current to flow easily.
Is a copper coin an insulator or a conductor?
Copper is a good conductor of electricity, so a copper coin would also be a conductor. This means that electricity can flow easily through the coin.
Would a copper pipe be better as a conductor or an insulator?
A copper pipe would be better as a conductor due to copper's high electrical conductivity. It would allow electric current to flow efficiently through the pipe, making it a good choice for applications where electrical conductivity is important.
Is it poor conductor or a good conductor?
It is a poor conductor.
What causes a resistor to heat up?
The current through a resistor or for that matter any conducting medium is caused by flow of electrons. These electrons do not flow like a stream through the resistor or conductor but undergo repeated collisions with the vibrating atoms of the resistor, transferring their kinetic energy to them. This in turn increases the vibrational energy of the atoms and manifest itself as heat in the resistor/ conductor. In turn this results in reduced drift velocity of the electrons resulting in reducing the current , thus acting as a Resistor.
What are the basics of how flashlights work?
You need a conductor, power source and a resistor. You need a conductor, power source and a resistor. You need a conductor, power source and a resistor.
Can a pencil sharpened at both ends be used as a conductor?
Yes, but it will have high resistance so it would be better called a resistor than a conductor.
What is a light dependent resister?
As light falls on the conductor then emission of electrons would increase the conductivity and so its resistivity decreases. Such a conductor is known as light dependent resistor.
Is a resistor considered a conductor?
No, a resistor is not considered a conductor. Resistors are components that impede the flow of electric current, while conductors allow electric current to flow easily.
Would a good conductor create more resistance or a good insulator?
Good conductor = low resistance.
Is tinfoil a good conductor?
Yes, because it is after all metal, and no, because it is so thin; it makes a better resistor or type of fuse, actually.
How would you classify lemon juice or vinegar as a good conductor or poor conductor?
lemon juice with salt will act as a very good conductor also vinegar is a conductor but not a very good one
Is pencil lead a resistor?
It is not a resistor, but not to say it's a good conductor. Although it lacks the metallic bonding that makes Cu such a good conductor, the sheets of graphite have hybridized sp2 orbitals, meaning there are long rows of p orbitals that can share electrons across the sheet, meaning it can conduct electricity. It has a resistivity of ~20uOhm meters, whereas as Cu has a resistivity of ~17nOhm meters.
Which resistor is the beat conductor 150 or 600?
We're guessing that you meant to type "best", that you typed "beat" instead, and that you then didn't take the trouble to proofread your own typing. A resistor with a lower resistance is the better conductor. The resistance of a perfect conductor is zero ohms.
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
Is an resistor an conductor or a insulator?
A resistor is a conductor that dissipates some of the electrical energy fromthe current flowing through it. The energy dissipated by the resistor is(current through it)2 x (resistance)
Why is a copper wire not used to make filaments of electric bulbs?
Because the filament is in effect a resistor. Copper is too good a conductor to provide resistance to the current, and would simply allow the current to complete the circuit. The light is generated by the filament glowing as it heats up in resistance to the current. Tungsten is a much better resistor.
