    The document defines key terms related to heat transfer and electricity, including conduction, convection, radiation, conductors, insulators, electric current, electric motor, electromagnet, static electricity, friction, generator, heat, parallel circuit, series circuit. It provides examples of excellent electrical conductors like silver, copper, gold, and aluminum, and poor conductors like rubber, glass, plastic, and dry wood. It gives an example of how a metal spoon conducts heat from hot soup to the hand, while a wooden or plastic spoon would insulate better as heat transfer.

    2. Conductor- A material that readily
    allows the flow of electricity to pass 3.Gases are poorest heat conductors. In other words,
    through it. they are the best heat insulators. Air is a mixture of

    a liquid or gas.
    4. electric current - The steady flow of 4. Copper is a metal that conducts electricity well. Most
    electric charges on a path. electrical wires are made of copper.
    5. electric motor- A device that convert
    electrical energy into mechanical energy, 5.plastic, rubber, wood and glass are all good insulators.
    6. electromagnet- A device in which an
    electric current produces magnetism.
    7. electrostatic discharge- Objects with
    opposite charges come in contact with
    each other and the electrons jump from
    one object to another.
    8. Friction-When two things rub against
    each other and produce heat
    9. Generator- A device that converts
    kinetic energy into electrical energy.
    10. Heat-The energy that moves between
    objects of different temperatures.
    11. Insulator-An object that resists the flow
    of electric charges.
    12. parallel circuit-In this type of circuit,
    the electricity has multiple paths along
    which it could flow.
    13. Radiation-The transfer of heat without
    matter to carry it (sunlight)
    14. series circuit-In this circuit, the
    electricity flows in a single path.
    15. static electricity-The build up of an
    electrical charge.

    Examples of excellent conductors include:

     Silver
     Copper
     Gold
     Aluminum
     Zinc
     Nickel
     Brass
    Examples of poor electrical conductors include:
     Rubber
     Glass
     Plastic
     Dry Wood
     Diamond
     Air

    1.The metal spoon conducts heat from the hot soup to


    your hand.

    2.If you have used a wooden spoon or a spoon with a


    plastic handle, you know how easier it is to stir the hot
    soup, by experience. This is because neither wood nor
