WONDERFUL! Why Is Copper A Good Conductor
This high charge density that copper possesses is the responsible for the slow drift of velocity that occurs when electrical charges are. Copper is a good conductor of heat. Gbc Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation Electrical Cables Copper Wire Electricity The invention of the telephone in 1876 created further demand for copper wire as an electrical conductor. Why is copper a good conductor . Copper is a good conductor of heat. Copper has low resistivity and therefore is an excellent conductor. Copper is also easy to solder and wrap into wires so it is often used when a large amount of conductive material is required. There are still some questions as to why certain metals are better conductors of heat and why certain materials have higher specific heats than others but right now it appears to be the shape of the atoms nucleus and how the Protons are arranged that are major factors in heat co. For a material to be a good conductor the electricity passed through it must be ab...
