Question

Name four good conductors and four bad conductors.

Answer 1

Good Conductors of heat:

1. These are the substances that allow heat to quickly pass through them.
2. Most of the metals are good conductors of heat.
3. Conductors are used in those applications where we have to conduct heat from one point to another.
4. Ex: Gold, Silver, Iron, Aluminium.

Bad Conductors of heat:

1. Objects with low levels of thermal conductivity are usually non-conductors.
2. Non-conductors of heat are usually good insulators.
3. Ex: Wood, Plastic, Soil, Rubber.
