Question
the flow of heat by conduction occurs when particles bump into each other and transfer heat.
insulators are materials that prevent the conduction of heat. common heat insulators are, fur, feathers, fiberglass, wood, and wool; all are poor conductors of heat.
conductors are materials that easily transfer heat. they transfer heat from the hot to cold. different materials transfer heat by conduction at different rates - this is measured by the materials thermal conductivity. this can be measured by measuring the amount of time it takes for the temperature to change (increase/decrease). common conductors are metals, copper, aluminum, etc.
select below which materials would be good conductors. select all that apply.
☐ fur
☑ metals
☑ copper
☐ wood
☐ wool
☑ aluminum
According to the text, conductors are materials that easily transfer heat. It also mentions that common conductors are metals, copper, aluminum, etc. Fur, wood, and wool are listed as insulators (materials that prevent heat conduction).
