Good conductors of Heat and Energy.

Material which permits the electric current or heat to pass through it is known as
conductor. Most metal are considered to be a good conductors of electrical current.
Copper is just one of the most popular materials that are used for conductors. Other
materials that are used are silver gold and aluminum.
Stainless steel is an iron-based with chromium.

Complete the following sentences by choosing the correct. Word from the box.

1. Most metal are considered to be a good _____________________.

2. ____________ is one of the most popular materials that are used for
conductors.
3- 4. Other materials that are used are ____________ and _____________.
1
 5. ________________ is an iron-based with chromium.

Copper wires are widely used for electrical wiring because they are ductile

and are conductors of electricity, while steel and aluminium are good conductors of

both heat and electricity.

Conductors are materials that allow electricity and heat to flow freely.

Examples are cooking pots and pans, iron, gold, silver, brass, steel, copper,

nickel, and water. Not all materials are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Materials that are not good conductors or that do not allow heat and electricity to

pass through them are called insulators.

Materials that are made of plastic, silk, leather, glass, oil, and rubber are

Insulators.

Direction: Write Conductor if the object is conductor and Insulator if it is insulator.

__________1. water

__________2. iron nails

__________3. glass

__________4. metal spoon

__________5. pencil

 Copper wires are widely used for electrical wiring because they are ductile and
are good conductors of electricity, while steel and aluminiumare good conductors of
both heat and electricity.
Conductors are materials that allow electricity and heat to flow freely through
them, allowing electricity and heat to be transferred from the source through them.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Copper and Aluminium are
metals. Stainless steel is an iron-based metal with chromium.
Cooking pots and pans made of metals make cooking faster because they
quickly allow heat transfer from the flame to the food being cooked.
Iron, gold, silver, brass, steel, copper, nickel, and water are also conductors of
heat electricity. Not all materials are good conductors of heat and electricity.
