Question

Name the best conductor of heat.

Answer 1

Conductors of heat:-

• Materials that allow energy to flow within it in the form of heat to pass through them are called good conductors of heat.
• They are sometimes also called thermal conduction.
• Generally metals are good conductors of heat due to the presence of free electrons.
• Their atoms are closely packed and when coming in contact with heat these particles vibrate and pass kinetic energy from one particle to another.
• Therefore they can transfer heat and are good conductors of heat.
• Some of the best conductors of heat are Copper, Aluminium, Graphite, Silver, Gold, etc.
