∙ 12y agoWell I am not an expert on this topic, but I did find something close to the answer to this. Here goes.
The heat capacity of metals is a combination of the electronic contribution and the phonon contribution. The vibrations in the lattice give 3R to the heat capacity at high temperatures and something close to planck statistics as they approach the 'Debye Temperature' of about 100Kelvin.
For Metals they have this T^3 term that is due to phonon heat capacity (which
asymptotically approaches the value of 3R at temperatures above TDebye). But they also have a T^1 term that is due to the relationship between electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. So the real question for you is, for the metal you are looking at, what is the temperature, and what are those coefficients of Cv=AT^1 + BT^3. If you find those, you can answer your question.

∙ 12y agoAn insulator generally has a greater specific heat capacity than a conductor. This is because insulators have a lower thermal conductivity, meaning they are less efficient at transferring heat. As a result, insulators require more energy to raise their temperature compared to conductors.
conductor:- which allow electron to travel very easily as compare to insulator and semiconductor because of its low energy band gape. insulator:- which can not pass electron as good as conductor because of its band gape energy. energy band: in all the metal,semiconductor and insulator there is energy gape.energy gape is due to arrangement of electron to shell and subshell which is related to quantum mechanics. so the material between conductor and insulator is semiconductor because it has energy gape greater than the conductor and less than the insulator. greater the energy gape less chance for electron to pass through the material
Specific heat capacity. This means water can absorb more heat energy before its temperature increases compared to iron, which has a lower specific heat capacity.
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than sand. This means that water can absorb and store more heat energy per unit mass without a significant increase in temperature compared to sand. This property of water makes it useful for regulating temperature in environments and organisms.
The material with lower specific heat capacity will experience a greater temperature increase compared to the material with higher specific heat capacity when absorbing the same amount of energy by heat flow.
An object that cools more slowly typically has a greater specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of a unit mass of a substance, so an object that can retain heat for longer before cooling down has a higher specific heat capacity.

There isn't a specific standard length for the unprotected length of a tap conductor in relation to the current carrying capacity of a main conductor. The length of the tap conductor is typically determined by factors such as voltage drop and local electrical codes. It is recommended to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or an electrical professional for specific guidance on tap conductor lengths.
Overhead lines are uninsulated, as they depend upon the air to provide insulation. However, they must still be insulated from the towers or poles from which they are suspended. This insulation is provided using glass or ceramic insulators. The greater the line voltage, the longer the ceramic insulator, or the greater the number of glass insulator 'dishes'.

Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
The longer the conductor the greater the end to end resistance.

Water boils faster
Water has a greater specific heat capacity than copper. This means that water can absorb more heat energy before its temperature increases compared to copper. This property of water is why it is often used as a coolant in various applications.
