Answer to Question #22823 in Physical Chemistry for Olivia

Question

Is Conductivity is the ability of matter to cool down. True or false?

Answer 1

False. Conduction is basically the flow of electrons from one end to the other in a conductor. lets take the example of a metal rod. the metal rod can conduct electricity as the electrons are able to flow and the resistance. Conductor releases heat. It was first studied by James Prescott Joule in 1841. Joule heating, also known as ohmic heating and resistive heating, is the process by which the passage of an electric current through.
