quarters are made of steel, and pennies are made of copper. Copper doesn't conduct electricity

∙ 12y ago
Quarters are made of a combination of nickel and copper, which are better conductors of electricity than the zinc core in pennies. The higher metallic content in quarters allows for more efficient flow of electric current compared to the lower metal content in pennies.

Do kids conduct electricity better than adults?
No, kids do not conduct electricity better than adults. The ability to conduct electricity depends on the properties of the materials involved, such as water content or metal content, rather than age. Both kids and adults can conduct electricity depending on the circumstances.
Which Metal Doesn't Conduct Electricity?
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature and does not conduct electricity.
Can salt water conduct electricity better than regular water?
yes
Does cerium conduct electricity and heat?
Cerium is a metal. All metals are conductors. Some are better conductors than others, but they all conduct electricity.
How much electricity can metal conduct?
The amount of electricity that metal can conduct depends on its type, structure, and temperature. Generally, metals are good conductors of electricity due to their free-flowing electrons. Common conductive metals include copper, aluminum, and silver.
Elemets that conduct heat and electricity well?
Metals, although some conduct heat & electricity better than others.
Do kids conduct electricity better than adults?
No, kids do not conduct electricity better than adults. The ability to conduct electricity depends on the properties of the materials involved, such as water content or metal content, rather than age. Both kids and adults can conduct electricity depending on the circumstances.
Why do fruits conduct electricity better than vegetables?
More electrolytes.
Do different things conduct electricity better than others?
yes!
Will titanuim conduct electricity?
Yes, although there are better conductors of electricity, titanium is still a good conductor.
Which Metal Doesn't Conduct Electricity?
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature and does not conduct electricity.
Can salt water conduct electricity better than regular water?
yes
Is silicon conductive like metal?
Sort of. It's a semiconductor, which makes it conduct electricity better the hotter it is. This is the opposite of how it works with metals, which conduct better when colder.
Why do gold and copper conduct electricity better than carbon and iodine?
because they are metals
Does zucchini conduct electricity?
Not well. Zucchinis make better pies than conductors.
Can iron conduct electricity as a liquid?
No, iron in its liquid form (molten iron) cannot conduct electricity because it lacks the crystalline structure necessary for the flow of electrons required to conduct electricity effectively.
What elements are nonconducting?
if you mean the conduction of electricity then.... all non-metals do not conduct(excluding carbon which does conduct) all metals conduct although some conduct better than others
