Which one of the following is a poor conductor of heat?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Mercury
Conductor of heat:
- Heat conductors are materials that allow heat to easily pass through them.
- Metals with the highest thermal conductivity are copper and aluminum, while steel and bronze have the lowest.
- Because copper is an excellent heat conductor, it is also suitable for heat exchangers.
- Mercury is a relatively poor heat conductor.
- Poor conductors are materials that cannot transfer heat.
Hence, Option(C) is correct.
