Sunday 6th October Thermal Conductivity Write Up Introduction For the good thermal conductor we will have to identify which of the four sample materials is the best thermal conductor in the experiment. The experiment will test how long it will take the specific sample material to heat which will be discovered by a nail with jelly on it, it will be stuck on the opposite end to which is being heated. When the nail falls off the time will be stopped we'll do this three times for accurateness and take the overall average. The four sample materials we will use are: * Copper * Brass * Glass * Mild-steel For the good insulator we will identify which of the two materials is the best thermal insulator (something that is not able to conduct thermal energy), we will discover this by surrounding one copper breaker in cotton wool and another in felt. Then put boiling water in...
