thermal conductor
what is a thermal conductor
A thermal conductor is a material that allows heat to pass through easily.
example - copper and aluminium
what is an electrical insulator
An electrical insulator is something that does not let electricity pass through easily
Ex - ceramic and plastic
what is an insulator
An insulator is a thing that does not let electricity pass easily.
Ex - plastic,ceramic
what is a conductor
A conductor lets electricity or heat pass easily
3 examples of thermal conductors
copper, aluminium and steel
3 examples of an electrical conductor
Copper, aluminium and gold
what is the worst insulator
Gold
what is the best conductor
Gold
where are thermal conductors used in real life
computer componets or cookware
why is copper a good electrical conductor
As its atoms are alllowing electrons to move freely which helps electricity to electricity flow easily
why is rubber used as an insulator
rubber is an good insulator because it dosen't let electricity pass through
why do we use conductors in electrical circuits
As they allow electricity to flow through wires easily
why are there thermal conductors
Thermal conductors exist because some materials are just better at passing heat than another material
what happens if we dont use good electrical conductors for wiring
The electricity may not flow well and maybe cause fires
where are electrical insulators used in real life
like the covering of wire with plastic or rubber
what happens when a conductor is in contact with electricity
The electric current flows through easily
what would happen if there were no thermal conductors
It would be harder to do our daily tasks like cooking
Are all metals electrical conductors
most metals are good electric conductors but some metals like aluminium and copper are better
can insulator be a solid or a liquid
yes they can.
why are the wires copper and not gold gold is a better conductor
As the expenses become higher and the usage will become less
