Why are super cooled metals good conductors?
Super cooled metals are good conductors because their super cooled properties allow them to conduct electric currents without resistance. This means no loss of energy.
Do nonmetals tend to be just as good conductors as metal?
No, nonmetals tend to be insulators. Some (e.g. carbon) are poor conductors. Semiconductors (e.g. silicon and germanium) in their pure form are insulators but when doped with the right impurities can conduct as good as metals. This is why they are called semiconductors.
Why do wires often have plastic wrapped around them?
Well plastic is a insulator which causes the electrons (also known as electricity) to stay in place. So wires are electrical conductors which means electrons to flow through it and since humans are "fair" electrical conductors it will cause us to get shocked from the electrical charges. Understand? :)
For most conductors as their temperature increases their resistance?
The resistance of pure metallic conductors increases with temperature, because the resistivity of these conductors increase with temperature.
Metal is a good conductor?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. However the degree of conductivity varies with each type of metal.
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Name two examples of thermal conductors?
Many metals are good conductors. While technically a fridge is one, that's probably not the answer you're looking for. Anything conducts heat, even humans. Believe it or not but diamonds are some of the best conductors out there.
Are good or poor conductors better emitters?
good conductors are better emitters
What are two good conductors?
Metals are good conductors of electricity, two of the best conductors are silver and copper.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
What are good conductors of electriicity?
Metals, in general. Copper and silver are particularly good conductors.
What large group of materials are good thermal conductors and good electrical conductors?
metals
What solids are good conductors?
All metals are solids and good conductors apart from Mercury which is a liquid but is a good conductor.
Are good conductors of heat good conductors of electricity?
They aren't necessarily good conductors of both (like diamond, which is a good conductor of heat, but not electricity) Graphite is one that is both, but most of them are metals.
Are the metal good or bad conductors of electricity?
All metals are pretty good conductors of electricity.
What material in which thermal energy moves quickly?
These are good conductors-most metals are good conductors.
Is true Metals are not good conductors of electricity. An electrolyte solution conducts electricity. Wood is a good conductor of electricity. Nonmetals are good conductors of electricity.?
1. Metals are good conductors of electricity.2.An electrolyte solution conducts electricity.3. Wood and nonmetals are not good conductors of electricity.
